Center for Human Rights and Global Justice (NYU)
The Detainees and Counter-Terrorism programme in the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice at New York University is led by Professor Margaret Satterthwaite and Professor Jayne Huckerby. The Center works with human rights organisations, litigators and parliamentary bodies to expose and analyse practices of rendition, disappearances, and human rights abuses of detainees in the 'War on Terror'. They have authored a number of reports on rendition, and Prof Sattherthwaite's articles, which examine rendition and secret detention in relation to international and US law have appeared in leading academic journals.

It attempts to bring academics, journalists, lawyers, practitioners, law enforcement officers and military personnel together to address these issues. Karen Greenberg, its Executive Director, was the co-editor of The Torture Papers: The Road to Abu Ghraib (Cambridge University Press, 2005), a compilation of declassified documents from the Bush administration relating to rendition, secret detention and torture.
