Two copies of published Brief "Nos. 03-334 & 03-343 in the Supreme Court of the United States Fawzi Khalid Abdullah Fahad Al Odah, et al., Petitioners, and Shafiq Rasul et al., Petitioners, v United States, et al., Respondents and George W. Bush, et al., Respondents. On Writs of Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit Brief of the International Commission of Jurists and the American Association for the International Commission of Jurists, Amici Curiae, Supporting Petitioners".

Rasul v Bush was a landmark decision of the United States (US) Supreme Court in which the Court held that foreign nationals held in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp could petition federal courts for writs of habeas corpus to review the legality of their detention. The Court's 6–3 judgment on June 28, 2004, reversed a D.C. Circuit decision which had held that the judiciary has no jurisdiction to hear any petitions from foreign nationals held in Guantanamo Bay. The lead petitioner, British citizen Shafiq Rasul, was one of the Tipton Three. The US transported the three men to the United Kingdom in March 2004 before the decision was handed down, and the government released them the next day.

This material was either used for research or reference purposes by Mary Robinson, or she was involved through her work with the International Commission of Jurists, of which she was a member.
