Guantanamo's Legacy: From a Legal Black Hole to a Battleground in the Fight
Lisa Hajjar will discuss her new book, "The War in Court: Inside the Long Fight against Torture", with a particular focus on the legal battles over the treatment of people detained at Guantanamo. Hajjar will explain why hundreds of legal professionals were galvanised to defend the rule of law that was upended by the torture policy and enlisted in what turned into a war in court.
