Prof. George E. Edwards, Director of the Program in International Human Rights Law (PIHRL), recently returned to the U.S. from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba where he worked on the defense side of the first U.S. Military Commission to be completed since World War II. He worked on the case of David M. Hicks, an Australian, who pleaded guilty at the end of March to one charge of "material support for a terrorist organization." Since 2004, the PIHRL has been providing research assistance to the Military Commissions on U.S. v. David Hicks.
