Targeted Killing The New Normal: Mori

[Matilda]

Michael Mori, the military lawyer who defended David Hicks, has warned that the US approach to extrajudicial killings could become a global norm.

"The kill or capure list can be used by executives in governments to bypass the judicial system," Mori said.

In the Hicks case for which he is best known, Mori said his greatest difficulty was learning new areas of international law. He credits the Australian legal and academic communities in helping him prepare the Hicks legal challenges in the United States and Australia.

Mori also touched on other areas of US power during his address. He expressed concerns that in the case of Julian Assange, it was possible for the US government to use administrative measures to restrict or monitor his communication with third parties. This would potentially include the Wikileaks founder’s legal team.
