Publisher's Synopsis
Terrorism: International Case Law Reporter is an annual series publication that provides the full text of terror-related case opinions from numerous countries and regional bodies. Within the volumes of this series, researchers will discover cases from the U.S., U.K., the Netherlands, Switzerland, South Africa, Australia and Indonesia. Researchers working within the First and Second Series of Terrorism: Documents of International and Local Control will find references to these cases and will now be able to find the complete opinions from those cases in Terrorism: International Case Law Reporter. The cases have been selected and organized topically by Michael Newton, a Vanderbilt Law School professor and international expert on terrorism and security law. In making his selections, Newton has worked closely with an editorial board consisting of expert scholars from around the globe. That board members include an Indonesia expert based in Sydney as well as an African expert based in Pretoria.
The topics explored in this year's volumes include such complex and emerging issues as whether a terrorism suspect detained in the U.S. can seek treaty-based relief in the European Court of Human Rights and whether a corporate creditor of an African nation can seek overdue payment from an African government in a U.K. domestic court. Indeed, the series' coverage of both domestic courts and regional tribunals and commissions makes Terrorism: International Case Law Reporter an invaluable resource for legal researchers of any level. Professor Newton's introductory commentary yields an additional benefit to researchers seeking clarity in the maze of domestic and international security law. Lastly, Oxford has translated several foreign domestic cases into English. The combination of expert selection, authoritative commentary, and targeted translations make this new case reporter unique and indispensable for any serious research into the global aspects of terrorism law.
