Rendition in Extraordinary Times
Files
Description
This chapter examines the legal norms governing informal transfers and detentions in the era of global realignment, and sets out a minimum standard that must be upheld whenever a state renders an individual, no matter how extraordinary the context. Rendition is the transfer of an individual from the custody of one state to another without the benefit of a regular process by the rendering country. The applicability of the protections concerning transfers of custody from one state to another in the context of armed conflict in which states are cooperating pursuant to collective defense regimes or peacekeeping operations within the borders of a single state have been subject to intense debate. Relevant procedural norms have been articulated in the context of detention and formal transfer as well as in relation to the substantive norms concerning transfers to a risk of grave abuse.
