Dr. Martin Scheinin, special
rapporteur on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights while
Countering Terrorism at the United Nations will join us for a
discussion on human rights and counterterrorism. The US government
requested an assessment of its efforts to protect human rights while
countering terrorism. What are the findings? Is the U.S.
counterterrorism strategy adhering to the standard of the Uniform Code
of Military Justice and other international agreements? How might the
U.S. serve as the model for the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism
Strategy? What impact does the report have the U.S. ability to
effectively prosecute the war on terror without detriment to human
rights?
