Indefinite Detention Of Cuban Aliens: Is The End In Sight?, Francis G. Troyan

In spite of the fact that international law dictates that a sovereign should be able to protect its borders, international law also dictates that every human being has the right to be free from unnecessary detention.

Unlawful Seizures And Irregular Rendition Devices As Alternatives To Extradition, M. Cherif Bassiouni

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Extradition is a legal device whereby a state requests from an-other the surrender of a person accused or convicted of a crime. It is one of the modes of cooperation in penal matters between states. One rationale for extradition is that all states have an obligation to cooperate in the suppression of criminality and must, therefore, surrender to each other accused and fugitive offenders.
