This report focuses on the human rights abuses associated with the CIA's post-September 11, 2001 secret detention and extraordinary rendition operations. It documents the secret detention of detainees in CIA custody outside the United States, and the extraordinary detention of detainees without meaningful legal process to the custody of foreign governments for the purposes of detention and interrogation, often in the face of a real risk of being tortured.
The book provides, for the first time anywhere, the most comprehensive account of the human rights abuses committed by the CIA in "war on terror." It identifies 138 victims of illegal detention and extraordinary detention and describes in searing detain the abuses they suffered. It also identifies 54 foreign governments that collaborated with the United States in these illegal practices.

Softcover. Etat : As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the Central Intelligence Agency embarked on a highly classified program of secret detention and extraordinary rendition of terrorist suspects. The program was designed to place detainee interrogations beyond the reach of law. Suspected terrorists were seized and secretly flown across national borders to be interrogated by foreign governments that used torture, or by the CIA itself in clandestine 'black sites' using torture techniques. This report is the most comprehensive account yet assembled of the human rights abuses associated with secret detention and extraordinary rendition operations. It details for the first time the number of known victims, and lists the foreign governments that participated in these operations. It shows that responsibility for the abuses lies not only with the United States but with dozens of foreign governments that were complicit. More than 10 years after the 2001 attacks, this report makes it unequivocally clear that the time has come for the United States and its partners to definitively repudiate these illegal practices and secure accountability for the associated human rights abuses.
