Description for Terrorism, the Laws of War, and the Constitution: Debating the Enemy Combatant Cases
Paperback. Civil liberties versus national security: new issues raised by a new kind of war Num Pages: 196 pages. BIC Classification: LNU. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 229 x 152 x 14. Weight in Grams: 340.
The modern laws of war that emerged in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were developed with a particular concept of war in mind—one that does not apply to the conflict with our current adversaries. With the September 11 attacks the United States found itself engaged in a new kind of war, with new dilemmas that needed new rules. Terrorism, the Laws of War, and the Constitution examines three significant enemy combatant cases—Padilla, Hamdi, and Rasul—that represent the leading edge of U.S. efforts to devise legal rules, consistent with American constitutional principles, for waging the global war on terror.
