The US led programme of extraordinary rendition created profound
challenges for the international system of human rights protection and
rule of law. This book examines the efforts of authorities in Europe
and the US to re-establish rule of law and respect for human rights
through the investigation of the program and its outcomes. The
contributions to this volume examine the supranational and national
inquiries into the US CIA-led extraordinary rendition and secret
detention programme in Europe. The book takes as a starting point two
recent and far-reaching developments in delivering accountability and
establishing the truth: First, the publication of the executive
summary of the US Senate Intelligence Committee (Feinstein) Report,
and second, various European Court of Human Rights judgments regarding
the complicity of several state parties and the incompatibility of
those actions with the European Convention of Human Rights and
Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR). The collective volume provides the first
stock-taking review of the state of affairs in the quest for
accountability, and identifies significant obstacles in going even
further -- as international law demands. It will be vital reading for
students and scholars in a wide range of areas, including
international relations, international law, public policy and
counter-terrorism studies.
