| 词条 | Stephen Kenny (lawyer) |
| 释义 |
Kenny has practiced as a barrister and solicitor in Australia for over 25 years. He has maintained a strong interest in civil liberties and is the past Chairperson of the South Australian Council for Civil Liberties. Throughout his career, Kenny has acted for indigenous people, including on personal and Native Title Land Claim matters as well as undertaking pro-bono work for migrant families and community groups. In the 1990s he acted for the Ngarrindjeri during the Hindmarsh Island bridge controversy.[2] In January 2002 after reading press reports of the detention of David Hicks at Guantanamo Bay, Kenny offered his services to his Adelaide family. With permission of the family, Kenny commenced legal proceedings in the United States for a Writ of Habeas Corpus against President Bush and the US Military who were detaining Hicks. Known as Rasul v. Bush, the legal proceedings resulted in the United States Supreme Court ruling that Guantanamo Bay was within the jurisdiction of the US Courts. This led to a number of other detainees taking action against their detention in US Federal Courts.[3] AwardsKenny has won the 2010 Law Society of South Australia's justice award.[4] References1. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2004/s1107788.htm |title=Hicks victim of 'orchestrated' abuse: lawyer, Stephen Kenny |work=PM |publisher=ABC News |location=Australia |date=13 May 2004 }} 2. ^1 {{cite speech |url=https://www.actlawsociety.asn.au/documents/item/95 |title=Hicks and the Geneva Convention, Hindmarsh and Native Title |author=Kenny, Stephen |author-link=Stephen Kenny (Australian lawyer) |publisher=Law Society of the Australian Capital Territory |date=17 May 2005 |work=Sir Richard Blackburn Lecture, 2005 |event= |location= |access-date=12 April 2018 }} 3. ^Biography {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060919111935/http://www.unya.asn.au/unyc2005/speakers/kenny.pdf |date=19 September 2006 }} 44th National Youth Conference, Adelaide, July 2005 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-national/lawyer-hailed-for-pro-bono-work-20100901-14myg.html |title=Lawyer hailed for pro bono work |work=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=1 September 2010 |access-date=12 April 2018 }} External links
