After 9/11, American officials authorized torture, extraordinary rendition, indefinite detention, military commissions, targeted killing, and mass surveillance. This book analyses the role of human rights and humanitarian legal norms in shaping these practices. By strategically manipulating legal rules, policymakers and their lawyers successfully normalized abuses and secured impunity for human rights violations.
