Rendition is a process where a person is taken from one country to another, often for the purpose of interrogation or prosecution. This practice can involve transferring individuals without formal legal proceedings, sometimes leading to concerns about human rights and due process. It is often associated with counterterrorism efforts, particularly in the context of the War on Terror. The term gained significant attention after the events of September 11, 2001, when the U.S. government used rendition to capture and transport suspected terrorists. Critics argue that this practice can lead to torture and unlawful detention, while supporters claim it is necessary for national security. The debate continues over the ethical implications of rendition and its impact on international law.
