Weaving a Net of Accountability: Taking on extraordinary rendition at the state and regional levels
NCSTN joins the Duke Human Rights Center, and the University of North Carolina School of Law Immigration & Human Rights Policy Clinic in convening a coalition of human rights, activist, legal and professional groups to coordinate a push for accountability for extraordinary rendition at the state and regional level.
In this case, accountability means:
(1) Creating a detailed and broadly available public record of North Carolina's state and local involvement in extraordinary rendition;
(2) Building alliances at the state, national and international level to push for accountability; and
(3) Working to prevent the continued use of state and local infrastructure for programs such as torture and extraordinary rendition through recommendations and new laws implemented at the local and state level.
To achieve these goals, we are organizing a conference at Duke University, April 8-10.
The conference will gather key international, national, and local activists, experts and journalists. Participating will be representatives from religious, legal, psychological, state, ethical, human rights, academic and advocacy groups.
A key goal of the conference is to organize a Commission of Inquiry for North Carolina, – composed of state, national and international public figures and experts –tasked to realize the goals described above.
