Reconduction

Most importantly, the suicide attacks of 11 September and the ensuing ‘war against terror’ greatly facilitated the neutralization of the protest movement and the ‘reconduction’ of public order.

Since Savarkar was prima facie a political criminal, France demanded that England should give him and should request his extradition in a formal way, but England refused to compl with this demand, and the parties, therefore, agreed to have the conflict decided by the Court of Arbitration at The Hague. The award, while admitting that an irregularity had been committed by the reconduction of Savarkar to the British vessel, decided, correctly, I believe, in favour of Great Britain, asserting that there was no rule of International Law imposing, in circumstances such as those which have been set out above, any obligation on the Power which has in its custody a prisoner, to restore him on account of a mistake committed by the foreign agent who delivered him up to that Power.
