To what extent is the right of Habeas Corpus Limited in the context of the War on Terror?
Abstract
Grave human rights abuses caused by the “war on terror” have sparked an increase in human
rights litigation. The right of habeas corpus is protected under the American Constitution as it
prevents illegal detention. There has been heightened debate on whether enemy combatants and
illegal combatants who are likely to pose a threat to public safety are entitled to habeas corpus.
Introduction
Possessing personal freedom is the most crucial human right. The right to avoid being
detained without a court order can never be violated in a civilized society. Freedom from
arbitrary arrest and detention is a component of personal liberty (Frande et al., 2022). One of the
fundamental protections of personal freedom in English and American law is made possible by
the writ of habeas corpus, which shields people against unjustified detention by the government.
The government suspends the right to habeas corpus in the fight against terrorism in order to
protect public safety.
Body
A. The right of habeas corpus dates back to many centuries when personal liberty was not so
valued (Siegert, 2022).
I. Historical evolution of Habeas Corpus in the world
II. History of Habeas Corpus in the Colonies
III. Historical evolution of Habeas Corpus in America
B. The government must emphasize the importance of fighting against the United States’
enemies while defending the suspension of habeas corpus in light of the ongoing war on
terror (Hajjar, 2019).
I. Restrictions on the Use of habeas corpus in the Context of the War on Terror
II. The significance of restricting Habeas Corpus in terrorism situations
III. The constitutional basis that supports the habeas corpus restriction
IV. The Supreme Court’s stance on the habeas corpus imitation
C. The right to habeas corpus is a fundamental right, and before limiting it, states must adopt
the necessary safeguards (Frande et al., 2022).
I. The derogation’s scope must be directly related to the urgency of the circumstance.
II. The emergency must be serious and pose a risk to the regular practices used in the
administration of justice.
III. The measures of derogation must not go beyond what is strictly required by the
necessities of the situation.
IV. The state’s choice to impose a derogation must be closely examined internationally.
D. Different branches of government play different roles in cases of removing or limiting the
right of habeas corpus in the context of the war on terror (Khan, 2022).
I. Executive Branch
II. Judiciary Branch
III. Legislative Branch
E. The constitutional right to Habeas Corpus extends to both United States citizens and non-
citizens (Khan, 2022).
I. What are the implications of derogation to citizens?
II. What are the implications of derogation to non-citizens?
Conclusion
In the context of the war on terror, the government suspends the right of habeas corpus to
preserve public safety. However, to defend their civil rights and liberties, US citizens primarily
rely on the postulates of habeas corpus. As a result, any deviation from these rights must be as
limited as possible. A deviation from the right to habeas corpus only results in the suspension of
additional liberties and rights, the deterioration of democratic societies over time, and ultimately
the collapse of democracy.
