Guantánamo and Beyond: A Blog on Executive Detention, National Security and Due Process

Guantánamo and Beyond: A Blog on Executive Detention, National Security and Due Process is the latest project by the NYSBA’s Committee on Civil Rights on the detention, treatment and trial of those detained at Guantánamo Bay and elsewhere in the decade following the September 11 attacks and Afghanistan invasion.   The purpose of this blog is to provide an easy reference for NYSBA members and the general public to access in one location the ongoing and unprecedented constitutional dialogue between the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches concerning the most fundamental issues of national security, individual liberty and due process.  The blog will cover timely news and analysis concerning the detention and trial of alleged terrorists apprehended and held by the Executive and the continuously evolving legal and policy positions surrounding these important issues.
 
Guantánamo and Beyond: A Blog on Executive Detention, National Security and Due Process is authored on a rotating basis by several Committee members and edited by Committee Chair Fernando A. Bohorquez, Jr. (Partner, Baker Hostetler) and Committee Secretary Patrick T. Campbell (Associate, Baker Hostetler).  For more information or questions about the blog, please contact Mr. Bohorquez.
