This volume focuses on human concerns, especially the protection of human rights in the age of global anti-terrorism campaigns. While the essays mostly discuss issues raised in an Australian context, they are dealt with from a global perspective. Thus the issues raised mostly reach beyond national boundaries. Rights Protection in the Age of Global Anti-terrorism is a special issue (Volume 25, No. 1) of the journal Law in Context.
