5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent study of Blair's growing authoritarianism
By William Podmore on April 23, 2004
Format: Hardcover
In this profound and thoughtful book, Baroness Kennedy defends civil society against the Blair government's growing authoritarianism. She covers a huge range of topics, approaching each with a well-argued point of view. She is never neutral, but never dogmatic either.
On international law, she passionately upholds Britain's common law against the `fallacious ideas that a new hybrid should be created, marrying up European civil law approaches to our common law system without any thought as to the consequences'. She notes that the attack on and occupation of Iraq breached international law, and that the government sought the opinion of one of only two international lawyers who thought the attack legal.
Even before the 9/11 attacks, Blair imposed draconian laws against our freedoms: the Terrorism Act of 2000, for instance, reversed the burden of proof. Since 9/11, Blair has abused the attacks to limit our freedoms yet more. In December 2001, the government gave Home Secretary David Blunkett the power to detain foreign nationals indefinitely without charge or trial: as of May 2003, 13 were thus detained. This arbitrary preventive detention is no better than hostage-taking. Blunkett refused to rule out relying on intelligence obtained by torture in other countries when he decides who to detain. (Incidentally, under the Terrorism Act of 2002 it is an offence to incite or plot the overthrow of a foreign government - why does Iraq come to mind?)
The Criminal Justice Act of 2003 allowed people to be held without charge for interrogation for up to 14 days.Read more ›
