Ireland's Potential Liability for Extraordinary Renditions through Shannon Airport
Fiona De Londras University College Dublin-School of Law Irish Law Times, Vol. 25, No. 7, pp. 106-110, 2007 Abstract: This article outlines the international legal prohibition on extraordinary rendition and considers whether, if Shannon Airport is being used for the purposes of extraordinary rendition, Ireland might incur liability under international human rights law under the principles governing diplomatic assurances. It concludes that, although it might be said that the Irish government is not doing enough to prevent extraordinary rendition through Shannon Airport, it appears that Ireland is fulfilling its positive obligations under international law.
