ISBN:  9780472056491 (paperback) 0472056492 (paperback) Description:  viii, 285 pages ; 23 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "The US presidency has long tested the system of checks and balances, especially in wartime. While scholars have examined presidents starting military conflict abroad or restricting civil liberties at home, Stuart Streichler focuses on the conduct of hostilities. Using the treatment of war-on-terror detainees under President George W. Bush as a case study, he integrates international humanitarian law into a constitutional analysis of the repercussions of presidential war powers for human rights. Putting President Bush's actions in a wider context, Presidential Accountability in Wartime begins with a historical survey of the laws of war, including the 1949 Geneva Conventions and Nurember. Streichler then reconstructs the decision-making process that led to the president's approval of interrogation methods that violated Geneva's mandate to treat wartime captives humanely. While taking note of various accountability options--from within the executive branch to the International Criminal Court--the book illustrates the challenge in holding presidents personally responsible for violating the laws of war through an in-depth analysis of the actions taken by Congress, the Supreme Court, and the public in response. In doing so, this book not only raises questions about whether international humanitarian law can moderate wartime presidential behavior but also about the character of the presidency and American constitutional government"-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 342.062 St Checked In Add Copy to MyList
