Abstract

The author attempts to analyze the legal situation of the American prison in Abu Ghraib through the prism of the philosophy of law developed by Carl Schmitt. According to the author Schmitt’s philosophy of law is the right one since Schmitt treats law as assigned to particular geographical territory. He also analyzes the institution of an unlawful combatant as an implementation of the partisan concept developed by Schmitt.
