A result of a three years multinational project, under the auspices of both the Club of Madrid and the World Justice Project, Counter-Terrorism: International Law and Practice, edited by Dr Katja Samuel, University of Nottingham, Professor Nigel White, Professor of Public International Law, University of Nottingham and Professor Ana Maria Salinas de Frias, University of Malaga, has been published by Oxford University Press in January 2012. With over 40 contributors, drawn from legal practice, the judiciary, policy-makers, the military, police, civil society, academic institutions and international organizations, the book offers a comprehensive review and assessment of those legal principles which make up the international rule of law framework for countering terrorism (international human rights, criminal, humanitarian and refugee law). Government responses to terrorism can conflict with the protections provided by human rights and the rule of law. By comprehensively looking at all aspects of counter-terrorism, this book identifies best practices and makes recommendations for the future.
