As the first Guantanamo Bay detainees are 'released', a briefing paper from the Institute of Race Relations reveals how dangerously far the EU has already gone in undermining domestic legal process and removing human rights - all in the name of the War on Terror. An IRR briefing paper on Anti-terrorism and human rights is essential reading for all those concerned to find out more about the international approach to combating terror and how it is influencing EU and British counter-terrorism measures.It provides a detailed examination of the global system of targeted sanctions, set in motion after the events of September 11, and establishes that the US has come to dominate EU policy on combating terror to the extent that a common EU foreign and security policy has been totally undermined: IRR European Race Bulletin (link)
