Your guidance helped to generate valuable new directions for the research and analysis. For taking the time to discuss their expertise and opinions, I'd like to thank Brooklyn College professor, Dr. Jeanne Theoharis, Amy Fettig from the American Civil Liberties Union, and Dr. Stephen Soldz of Psychologists for Social Responsibility. Also, for providing important research materials for this project, I would like to thank Dr. Sharon Shalev of the London School of Economics, Drake Lucas from Human Rights Watch, Pardiss Kebriaei from the Center for Constitutional Rights in New York, and my close friend Rebecca Taylor. A special thanks to the activists, actors, poets and speakers of the 'Free Fahad' campaign for their continued efforts to address these issues and educate the general public. Your dedication to human rights and non-violent demonstration has been inspirational, as you stood outside the Manhattan Correctional Center to stage regular events for months, withstanding not only the cold and rain, but the criticism of those who would label you supporters of terrorism for standing up for your beliefs. To my friends and family here and back in the states, thank you for all you support. And finally, thank you to all my fellow graduate students at City University London. We have all come from many different parts of the world and I have felt truly honoured to have met you all during my time in the UK, to hear your stories and your perspectives. You have also been some of the nicest people I've ever had a chance to meet and I'm truly grateful to have been able to share this experience with you. iv Kevin Warne Abstract The nature of the international political system has meant that both human rights laws and security measures are issues of cooperation and conflict between nations. In the decade since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the U.S.-led War on Terrorism has brought these issues to the forefront. New laws have been drafted and revised to help the growing international threat. These laws are interrelated and overlapping. Proponents justify them as necessary means to combat a threat. However, they are often discussed in isolation, without considering what the real affects of these laws may be together. The case of Syed Fahad Hashmi helps to illustrate what can happen when different elements come together. Due to controversial changes to the U.S. prison system, vague charges of support for terrorism, and a so-called 'fast track' extradition treaty, have led to Hashmi serving a 15 year sentence in solitary confinement, conditions which have been decried by both health officials and legal scholars. The extradition agreements can mean that the international community has their own level of responsibility for these kinds of violations, if the proper safeguards are not in place. The urgency to act quickly combined with the secrecy of the charges levelled against these suspects has, arguably, undermined the potential for greater human rights protections. This research will aim to demonstrate the failures of these revised laws to protect human rights and make a case of their revision. In particular, it will focus on the lack of oversight involved with current extradition laws. v Extradition, Human Rights, and the War on Terrorism List of Abbreviations ACHR - American Convention on Human Rights ACLU - American Civil Liberties Union ADX - Administrative Maximum Facility CCR - Center for Constitutional Rights CDCR - California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation EAW - European Arrest Warrant ECHR - European Convention on Human Rights ECtHR - European Court of Human Rights HLP - Humanitarian Law Project ICCPR - International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights LTTE - Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam MCC - Manhattan Correctional Center MDOC - Mississippi Department of Corrections PKK - Kurdistan Workers Party SAMs - Special Administrative Measures SHU - Security Housing Unit (also known as Special Handling Unit) Supermax - Supermaximum Security Facility THAW - Theaters Against War UDHR - Universal Declaration of Human Rights USP - United States Penitentiary

Andrew Dalack* Our criminal justice system is founded upon a belief that one is innocent until proven guilty. This belief is what foists the burden of proving a person’s guilt upon the government and belies a statutory presumption in favor of allowing a defendant to remain free pending trial at the federal level. Though there are certainly circum- stances in which a federal magistrate judge may—and sometimes must—remand a defendant to jail pending trial, it is well-settled that pretrial detention itself inher- ently prejudices the quality of a person’s defense.

  • Psychologists Defying Torture the Challenge and the Path Ahead
    Chapter 5 Psychologists defying torture The challenge and the path ahead Stephen Soldz It is by now generally accepted that the George W. Bush administration engaged in a systematic policy of detainee abuse that sometimes amounted to torture and often consisted of cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment, both of which are banned by the United Nations Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, 1984, p. 2), signed by the United States. If there had been any doubt that U.S. detainee abuses were the result of a systematic policy, that doubt has surely been erased by publication of detailed reports from the Defense and Justice Departments Inspectors General (Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Defense, 2006; Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Justice, 2008), and the Senate Armed Services Committee (2008a, 2008b, 2008c; Levin, 2008a, 2008b, 2008c). Journalist Jane Mayer (2008) and others have placed the ultimate authorization of the most brutal of these abuses directly in the White House (Greenburg, Rosenberg, & Vogue, 2008a, 2008b). As information about this policy and its implementation has gradually emerged, it became clear that military and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) psychologists played central roles in the development and implemen- tation of these abusive tactics. Simultaneously, the American Psychological Association (APA), while publicly opposing torture, took extraordinary measures to encourage and protect psychologist involvement in U.S. national security interrogations at the sites where abuses were rampant. As a result, a movement emerged among APA members and other psy- chologists to oppose to this prointerrogations policy.

A central focus of the critique is the unreviewability of Executive branch action toward those detained and tried in military commissions. In those critiques, the federal courts are regularly celebrated for their due process and other rights protections. Yet in the past ten years, there has been little scrutiny of the hundreds of terrorism cases tried in the Article III courts and the state of the rights of people accused of terrrorism-related offenses in the federal system.

  • Complicity: Psychology and War on Terror Abuses
    COALITION FOR AN ETHICAL PSYCHOLOGY human rights * ethics * social justice www.ethicalpsychology.org Complicity: Psychology and War on Terror Abuses Torture has been in the national news again this spring as the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence voted last month to declassify key sections of its 6,300-page report reviewing the CIA’s brutal post- 9/11 detention and interrogation program. While findings already leaked from the Senate report should be disturbing to all Americans, our nation’s psychologists should be especially troubled by this one: “Two contract psychologists devised the CIA’s enhanced interrogation techniques and were central figures in the program’s operation.” These cruel, inhuman, degrading and often torturous techniques ranged from painful stress positions to prolonged sleep deprivation to cramped confinement in a small box to waterboarding – all designed to debilitate a detainee and render him physically and psychologically helpless. Other carefully documented accounts of psychologist involvement in the abuse and torture of prisoners at places like Guantanamo, Bagram, and CIA black sites have emerged repeatedly for nearly a decade. But the comprehensive, multi-year Senate investigation is likely to provide the most detailed account to date of how psychologists abandoned their fundamental do-no-harm ethics and participated in the horrific excesses of the “war on terror.” In the past, the American Psychological Association (APA) – the world’s largest organization of psychologists – has responded to similar revelations with silence, denials, unactionable platitudes, and assertions that the APA has always been steadfast in its opposition to torture. Such responses, however, conceal a distressing and unwelcome truth: that U.S.

I'm very grateful to be with Stephen Soldz. I'd like to start this mini interview with the same question I always ask. Tell me something about your growing up life-where you were born and your early influences. Soldz: I was born in St. Louis. I say, Missouri is the "Show Me State," so I'm known for telling people to show me the evidence. Actually, my family left when I was four. My brother and I went back for a few years in summers, but basically had almost nothing to do with St. Louis and • Missouri since then . I lived for four years in the Boston area, then eight years in Virginia, and then returned to Boston, where I've been ever since. I was in science and mathematics initially. When we were in Boston, there was a physicist next door who was very influential at the time. Then we were in Virginia; the influences were from reading. I discovered Henry Thoreau somewhere around when I was eleven or twelve-Civil Disobedience and others of the nonviolent protesters, Dave Dellinger, the Mississippi Summer folks. They were my heroes at that point. Then I went off to MIT [Massachusetts Institute of Technology] when I was fifteen, and I had- there were two things I wanted to accomplish.

It used to be incompatible with America’s values to engage in such immoral acts. If Americans were really upset and infuriated by the pictures seen after Abu Ghraib, they would have done more than offer a simple protest and call for those responsible to come to justice, especially after former Defense Secretary James Schlesinger claimed that, "We believe that there is institutional and personal responsibility right up the chain of command as far as Washington is concerned."1 If Americans still were a people who loved freedom and human rights, “24” would not be nearly as popular as it is.
