      abstract = {"Fiona de Londras presents an overview of  counter-terrorist detention in the US and the UK and the  attempts by both states to achieve a downward recalibration  of international human rights standards as they apply in an  emergency. Arguing that the design and implementation of  this policy has been greatly influenced by both popular and  manufactured panic, Detention in the 'War on Terror'  addresses counter-terrorist detention through an original  analytic framework. In contrast to domestic law in the US  and UK, de Londras argues that international human rights  law has generally resisted the challenge to the right to be  free from arbitrary detention, largely because of its  relative insulation from counter-terrorist panic. She  argues that this resilience gradually emboldened superior  courts in the US and UK to resist repressive detention laws  and policies and insist upon greater rights-protection for  suspected terrorists"--},
