Terrorism on Trial
While the vehemence and shock of the debates triggered by the post-9/11 measures taken by the George W. Bush administration may have faded, they never fully accounted for all the devastating changes to the law that the war on terror wrought.The measures have centered on two prongs: 1) holding "enemy combatants" in indefinite detention at Guantanamo Bay; and 2) using torture against those same detainees, or what was referred to as "enhanced interr…
The Abduction of Mahmoud Khalil
Though the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil has been widely covered, it still does not cease to shock. A legal permanent resident of the United States, Khalil was returning to his Columbia University apartment building with his pregnant wife (a U.S. citizen) when he was approached by ICE agents looking to take him into custody in connection with his role as a prominent student protester on campus. The whole affair had a slapdash quality to it: the ICE ag…
Material Support Prosecutions and their Inherent Selectivity
The government’s maintenance of a list of designated foreign terrorist groups and criminalization of any meaningful interaction or transactions – whether peaceful or violent - with such groups are no longer novel concepts. Inherent in both listing these groups and prosecuting individuals for assisting them, even in trivial ways, is the government’s essentially unreviewable discretion to classify groups and proceed with any subsequent prosecutions…
Terrorism Prosecutions, Material Support, and Islamophobia
With Islamophobia rife and the government list of foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) telling us who is a threat, marginalized populations are being targeted and can expect a hostile and negative prosecutorial outcome. The large majority of terrorism prosecutions center on material support charges, which by their very structure concentrate on FTOs that are largely Islamist in ideology. Attaching a terrorist taint to a population based on its r…
Political asylum and torture
This article examines generally the issue of whether deportation to a country that would almost assuredly torture the individual in question can ever be justified under international law, even when that individual is accused of having links to international terrorism. Specifically, this article provides an analysis of the legal responses of three major common law countries—the USA, Canada, and the UK—in assessing whether or not deportation under …
Palestinian Refugees
Given the Palestinian refugees’ precarious legal status in their host countries, recognition of the Palestinian right of return is not only legally viable, but also crucial for the establishment of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East. That racially driven demographic considerations have been employed up until now to derail binding and directly applicable laws and practices, as well as keep the refugees in a state of legal limbo in their h…
