As for the list, when we provide the names of lawyers who could serve as special advocates, we must take into account their experience, their integrity. It is perhaps true that there could be among them someone who does not respect the process. But I do not believe that such will be the case. A lawyer will have meetings with the person detained in order to obtain information. The lawyer will then be able to look at the whole file on the individual and then, following an appeal, he or she could come back and have further discussions with the individual.
