Abstract

Vice-Dean Kremnitzer has brought to my attention the Report of the Landau Inquiry Commission. The Report raises interesting and important issues. Of particular interest is the claim of justification for the use of physical force against suspected terrorists in custody to force them to reveal information that would save innocent lives. I set out my own views in a letter to Editor, thereafter published in Israel Law Review.

Keywords: terrorist, physical force, terrorists, investigation, security, Report of the Landau Inquiry Commission
