Critical debates on counter-terrorist judicial review /
Davis, Fergal Francis,editor.
De Londras, Fiona,editor.
"Is judicial review an effective and appropriate way to regulate counter-terrorism measures? Some argue that the judiciary is ill-equipped to examine such measures, for instance because they lack the expertise of the institutions which bring them about under exigent conditions. Others claim that subjecting counter-terrorism measures to judicial review is crucial for maintaining a jurisdiction's principles of constitutionalism. This volume brings together voices from all sides of the debate from a broad range of jurisdictions, from North America, Europe and Australasia. It does not attempt to 'resolve' the argument but rather to explore it in all its dimensions. The debates are essentially concerned with fundamental questions of organising and making accountable the exercise of power in a particularly challenging environment. The book is necessary reading for all those concerned with counter-terrorism, but also with broader public law, constitutional law and administrative law principles"--
"This collection emerged from a workshop held in Durham Human Rights Centre in June 2013, which was supported by a small grant from the British Academy and Leverhulme and by the Laureate Fellowship: Anti-Terror Laws and the Democratic Challenge Project in the Gilbert + Tobin Centre of Public Law, UNSW. There was a follow up symposium hosted by the NSW Bar Association in Sydney in November 2013"--CIP galley.
