Abstract

The global fight against terrorism has led to unprecedented international cooperation, particularly between the U.S. and both traditional and non-traditional allies, highlighting the tension between gathering intelligence to prevent attacks and preserving evidence for prosecution. This collaboration, while crucial, faces legal challenges, including the admissibility of evidence obtained through foreign interrogations and human rights concerns regarding interrogation practices. The effectiveness of civilian courts in handling terrorism cases is questioned, suggesting potential alternatives like military commissions.
