Edwards, Carl M. Gray Professor of Law, visited Klein while at the University of Cambridge as a Visiting Fellow at the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law. Since 2001, Edwards has been a Life Member of Wolfson College, University of Cambridge. He is researching issues related to the U.S. Military Commissions at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. During his 2006-2007 sabbatical year, Edwards was in Guantanamo Bay as an international human rights law advisor for proceedings of David Hicks, the Australian detainee who pleaded guilty and has since returned to his native Australia. More recently, Edwards has consulted on the case of Omar Khadr, a Canadian who was sent to Guantanamo Bay when he was fifteen years of age, and who remains imprisoned there even though a Guantanamo Bay judge dismissed the Military Commission charges against him earlier this year. Prof. Edwards is the founder and director of the law school’s Program in International Human Rights Law.
