Recenzje

'In Habeas Corpus in International Law, Farrell thoroughly reviews the writ of habeas corpus from its origins to its current standard as an international legal bellwether. … Farrell addresses these issues of interaction by examining several areas, including the role of habeas corpus in armed conflict, territorial limits, and procedural concerns in the current war on terror.'
