Universally condemned and everywhere illegal, torture goes on in democracies as well as in dictatorships. Nonetheless, many Americans were surprised following the attacks of 9/11 at how easily the United States embraced torture as well as the supposedly lesser evil of cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment. Nothing seemed extreme when it came to questioning real and imagined terrorists. Extraordinary rendition—sending people captured in the “war on terror” to nations long counted among the world’s worst human rights violators—hid from the public eye cruel and bloody interrogations. “Torture lite” or “torture without marks” became the norm for those in American custody. In Rendition to Torture, Alan W. Clarke explains how the United States adopted torture as a matter of official policy; how and why it turned to extraordinary rendition as a way to outsource more extreme, mutilating forms of torture; and outlines the steps the United States took to hide its abuses. Many adverse consequences attended American use of torture. False information gleaned from torture was used to justify the Iraq war, adding potency to the charge that the war was illegal under international law. Moreover, European nations and Canada aided, abetted, and became thoroughly enmeshed in U.S.-led torture and renditions, thereby spreading both the problem and the blame for this practice. Clarke offers an extended critique of these activities, placing them in historical and legal context as well as in transnational and comparative perspective.

La notion de « procès orchestrés » vise les hypothèses de recours qui sont intentés non pas dans l’espoir de défendre des droits individuels, mais afin d’obtenir un effet médiatique ou de modifier l’état de la jurisprudence. À ce titre, les actions devant les tribunaux de certains groupes de plaignants, comme, par exemple, dans le domaine économique, les magasins Leclerc, ou, dans le domaine associatif, le GISTI ou France environnement, ont largement contribué à construire le cadre règlementaire de leurs activités, voire, plus généralement, à façonner le droit positif. Le lobbying désigne quant à lui habituellement un travail d’influence tourné essentiellement vers le législateur ou les autorités administratives. Bien que le lobbying soit largement analysé depuis une vingtaine d’années, peu de travaux se sont intéressés jusqu’alors à la question de son articulation avec les procès orchestrés. Le but de ce livre est d’aborder à travers des études de cas, le rôle des recours devant les hautes juridictions (CJUE, CEDH, Conseil d’État, Conseil constitutionnel…) dans les stratégies de lobbying, l’articulation entre lobbying et procès orchestrés, ainsi que les aspects pratiques de l’organisation d’un recours en justice dans le dessein de modifier l’état du droit positif (arbitrage entre lobbying et procès test, sélection des cas, choix de la stratégie, exploitation des effets médiatiques d’un procès…)

This book focuses on the development of the law of conspiracy in England from the thirteenth to the early eighteenth century. The historiography of the law of conspiracy has adopted an unmistakably doctrinal approach to this topic which has produced a treasure trove of legal sources. By borrowing concepts from cognitive linguistics, this research will shed light upon new aspects of these sources that the doctrinal approach could not reveal. It will show how certain conducts were lexicalized as a conspiracy in the Middle Ages. It will also show how these terms are involved in the lexicalization of the crime of treason and how through a process of conceptual blending the action upon the case in the nature of conspiracy rose as an action separate from the medieval conspiracy. Finally, it will be seen how the modern offense of conspiracy emerged out of the process of conceptual blending through analogies with treason and the action upon the case in the nature of conspiracy.------ Este libro se centra en la genealogía del delito de conspiración en Inglaterra desde el siglo XIII hasta comienzos del XVIII. La historiografía acerca del mismo ha sido de carácter marcadamente doctrinal, aunque ha producido un valioso acopio de fuentes. Haciendo uso de conceptos de la lingüística cognitiva, esta investigación revela aspectos de la genealogía del concepto de conspiración que el enfoque doctrinal no podía percibir. Se muestra cómo ciertas conductas fueron lexicalizadas como conspiración en la Edad Media, cómo el mismo término aparece en la conceptualización del delito de traición y cómo a través de un proceso de integración conceptual se produjo la action upon the case in the nature of conspiracy diferente de la conspiración medieval. Finalmente, también se verá cómo el moderno sentido de conspiración surgió a través del mismo proceso de integración conceptual que permitía establecer analogías con el delito de traición, así como con la action upon the case in the nature of conspiracy.
