TERRORISM: INTERNATIONAL CASE LAW REPORTER 2008 VOLUME I

Terrorism: International Case Law Law Reporter is the only print reporter of terrorism-related cases from jurisdictions worldwide. Volume 1 of this year's edition charts the course of various countries' treatment of terrorist suspects. The cases in this volume, when read together, present a wide-ranging comparison of how different jurisdictions balance security interests against the need to provide constitutional and treaty-based protections to criminal
defendants. One example is the Velasco case, which appears in English translation only in this edition of Terrorism: International Case Law Reporter and which considers the liability of a state officers when they commit acts of terrorism when exercising their official duties.
