Recent Decision, Duane A. Wilson

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In the United States, with its government of separated powers and functions, it is the executive branch, and in particular the Department of State, that bears responsibility for implementing legislation on foreign relations. The success of implementation will depend on political decisions, involving competing national interests, as well as on institutional and personal considerations of I he officials concerned. Inevitably, there is a gap between legislation and execution, especially when the Executive is not wholly sympathetic to the law. The gap may even devour legislated policies as the Executive refuses "to take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed," and …

This comment will examine preventive detention in Israel and the occupied territories in the context of Israeli and international law.2Administrative detention refers to the confinement of individuals by the executive branch of government for imperative security reasons.3 Such detention frequently involves more flexible rules of procedure, evidence, conviction, and …
