=======================================================
After Guantanamo Bay: Perspectives on the War on Terror

University of Westminster
Fyvie Hall, 309 Regent Street
London
W1B 2UW

Friday 22nd January 2010
9:30-17:00

The one-day conference marks the first anniversary of the order to close 
Guantanamo Bay and seeks to re-evaluate international, regional and 
national responses to terrorism in order to assess the question of how 
to address international terrorism. In particular the conference aims to 
examine the legacy of Guantanamo Bay from legal and political 
perspectives and to discuss the future direction(s) of the war on 
terror. This includes topics such as the nexus between human rights and 
security, the use of emergency powers and the rule of law, 
accountability for treatment of detainees and rendition and other issues 
related to the theme of the conference, e.g. what role, if any, does law 
have in the war on terror? If so, what law applies? If not, does the war 
on terror represent a separation of law and politics?

We are pleased to welcome Clare Algar, Executive Director of Reprieve 
(www.reprieve.org.uk), Carla Ferstman, Director of Redress 
(www.redress.org) and Jamil Dakwar, Human Rights Director of the 
American Civil Liberties Union (www.aclu.org) as plenary speakers. There 
are three panels addressing the theme of the conference: ‘International 
Law and the ‘War on Terror’: Application and implications’; ‘Assessing 
the Legacy of Guantanamo Bay’ and ‘The ‘War on Terror’: Domestic and 
regional implications’.


Attendance is free, but places are limited.
