Welcome to Guest Blogger Bobby Chesney

Professor Bobby Chesney of Wake Forest University School of Law will be guest blogging at Opinio Juris all month. Professor Chesney is an expert on U.S. national security law and his recent scholarship has focused on legal responses to terrorism. One of his recent papers tackles the transfer of detainees at Guantanamo to their home countries, a practice that, while different from extraordinary rendition of detainees to third countries, raises similar issues about U.S. compliance with international legal obligations (e.g., the Torture Convention, the Geneva Conventions). We look forward to Professor Chesney’s contributions and extend him a warm welcome to Opinio Juris.
