This chapter meticulously examines the US's legal rationale behind enhanced interrogation techniques and extraordinary renditions post-9/11, about human rights treaties. Amidst heightened security measures, including military interventions and covert operations, accountability for the resultant rights violations remains elusive. The chapter delves into whether these practices align with international human rights standards, with a particular focus on jurisdictional implications. By scrutinizing relevant treaties like CAT and ICCPR, it assesses the legitimacy of US arguments and implications for state responsibility. Drawing on jurisprudence since Bankovic, it concludes that individuals subjected to these measures fall under US jurisdiction, warranting accountability for human rights violations. This underscores the enduring challenges within the international legal framework and reiterates the pressing need for accountability.
