And third, the book examines some other unlawful practices used by the belligerent parties (e.g., torture in detention centers, forced repatriation of refugees) in order to show how they affected the civilian population in both Afghanistan and Pakistan.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png
