vi Report of the Eminent Jurists Panel on terrorism, counter-terrorism and human rights among such agencies without appropriate safeguards and accountability mechanisms; the use of preventative measures such as administrative detention, and the need to re-establish the primacy of the criminal justice system in the context of responding to terrorism. On behalf of the ICJ, I would like to thank the Panel members for their extraordinary commitment and engagement throughout the last three years. Theirs will be an enduring contribution to the work of the ICJ, and more importantly, to the protection and advancement of the rule of law and human rights. In particular I would like to express my gratitude to the Panel’s Chair, Justice Arthur Chaskalson, for his relentless leadership at every stage of this process. Wilder Tayler Acting Secretary General
