    Global War on Terrorism and Prosecution of Terror Suspects: Select Cases and Implications for International Law, Politics, and Security

    GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM AND PROSECUTION OF TERROR SUSPECTS: SELECT CASES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL LAW, POLITICS, AND SECURITY Srini Sitaraman Introduction The global war on terrorism has opened up new frontiers of transnational legal challenge for international criminal law and counterterrorism strategies. How do we convict terrorists who transcend multiple national boundaries for committing and plotting mass atrocities; what are the hurdles in extraditing terrorism suspects; what are the consequences of holding detainees in black sites or secret prisons; what interrogation techniques are legal and appropriate when questioning terror suspects? This article seeks to examine some of these questions by focusing on the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT), particularly in the context of counterterrorism strategies that the United States have pursued towards Afghanistan-Pakistan (Af-Pak) since the September 2001 terror attacks on New York and Washington D.C. The focus of this article is on the methods employed to confront terror suspects and terror facilitators and not on the politics of cooperation between the United States and Pakistan on the Global War on Terrorism or on the larger military operation being conducted in Afghanistan and in the border regions of Pakistan. This article is not positioned to offer definitive answers or comprehensive analyses of all pertinent issues associated with counterterrorism strategies and its effectiveness, which would be beyond the scope of this effort. The objective is to raise questions about the policies that the United States have adopted in conducting the war on terrorism and study its implications for international law and security. It is to examine whether the overzealousness in the execution of this war on terror has generated some unintended consequences for international law and complicated the global judicial architecture in ways that are not conducive to the democratic propagation of human rights.

  • Afzal Guru's Case

    Afzal Guru's Case

    Afzal Guru's Case The UPA government does not appear to have any interest in implementing the death sentence given to Mohammad Afzal Guru, the main accused involved in the conspiracy behind the attack on the Parliament House on 13th. December, 2001. Afzal has been marking his time in Tihar jail since September, 2005, when the petitions seeking review of the judgement upholding the death sentence on Afzal Guru were dismissed by the Supreme Court. On Dec 13, 2001, five gunmen who tried to storm the heavily guarded parliament complex were shot dead by the security personnel. Seven members of the security force were also killed in the said encounter. The attack on the Parliament House was jointly conducted by the Laskhar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), two Kashmiri militant groups operating from Pakistan. Just before the scheduled execution of Afzal Guru on October 20, 2006, Afzal’s family had filed a clemency plea with the President who referred it to home ministry which in turn sent it to the Delhi government for its views, as per the procedure. Since then the matter is pending, with the Union government showing no urgency or interest in expediting the matter. The death sentence awarded to Afzal Guru had triggered wide-spread protests in Kashmir. J&K politicians like Omar Abdullah of National Conference, Ghulam Nabi Azad of the Congress and Mehbooba Mufti of the People's Democratic Party had pleaded against hanging Afzal Guru..Former Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil had said on one occasion that hanging Afzal would prejudice India’s attempt to bring back Sarabjit Singh, an Indian on the death row in Pakistan.

  • Blue Ocean Leadership Case Study

    Blue Ocean Leadership Case Study

    Case study: Blue Ocean Leadership in prison management Luciano Pezzotta Blue Ocean Leadership case study Imagine the largest jail in the Asia-Pacific, a complex located near New Delhi serving over 7,200 inmates as against a sanctioned capacity of a little more than 2,200. Now envision its security and management systems, dating back even beyond the colonial era, and prisoners leading a suffocated life, with unhygienic conditions and poor quality food, scarcity of water and frequent epidemics. The prison has a staff of nearly 600 workers. This number of employees is meant to service the needs of the sanctioned capacity, and not almost four times that count. The majority of the jailers are barely literate and many do not even know how to count properly, thus affecting their capacity to perform even basic duties such as doing the prisoners’ head- count. Corruption is prevalent across all areas of the Jail, from a poisoned Administration which dispenses unfair visitation privileges, to the provision of the most basic supplies. In several cases, the situation is serious enough to warrant penalties and long periods of suspensions. In addition, many staff members perform their duties with a sense of vengeance on the system to inflict as much harm as they can. Such were the conditions of Tihar Jail that Kiran Bedi, the first woman officer who joined the Indian Police service in 1972, found when she was appointed Inspector General (Pris- on) on May1st 1993. Nevertheless, by the time she left her post two years after being at the helm, Tihar was a dramatically transformed jail.

Emerging from the Emergency: women in Indira Gandhi’s India, 1975-1977 Gemma Scott Doctor of Philosophy in History March 2018 Keele University Abstract India’s State of Emergency (1975-1977) is a critical period in the independent nation’s history. The government’s suspension of democratic norms and its institution of many, now infamous repressive measures have been the subject of much commentary. However, scholars have not examined Emergency politics from a gendered perspective. Women’s participation in support for and resistance to the regime and their experiences of its programmes are notably absent from historiography. This thesis addresses this gap and argues that a gendered perspective enhances our understanding of this critical period in India’s political history. It assesses the importance of gendered narratives and women to the regime’s dominant political discourses. I also analyse women’s experiences of Emergency measures, particularly the regime’s coercive sterilisation programme and use of preventive detention to repress dissent. I explore how gendered power relations and women’s status affected the implementation of these measures and people’s attempts to negotiate and resist them.
