The Rt Hon. Sir Peter Gibson (born 10 June 1934), is a former British barrister and Lord Justice of Appeal of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales, and is currently a judge of the Qatar International Court. Gibson has also served, between April 2006 and December 2010, as the UK's Intelligence Services Commissioner, and was appointed by David Cameron in July 2010 to lead the Detainee Inquiry. He is an honorary member of the Society of Legal Scholars. ==Education and career== Gibson was educated at Malvern College and graduated from Worcester College, Oxford. He was called to the Bar by the Inner Temple in 1960, and was knighted and appointed to the High Court of Justice in 1981, serving in the Chancery Division. He served as a judge of the Employment Appeal Tribunal in 1984, and, from 1990 to 1992, as Chairman of the Law Commission for England and Wales. From 1993 until 2005, he was a Lord Justice of Appeal of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales. In 2006, he was made Intelligence Services Commissioner, with his first term expiring in 2009. On 1 April 2009, he was granted a second term, though Gibson stepped down early, at the end of 2010, in order to chair an inquiry into the UK's alleged role in the torture and other ill-treatment of persons detained during the highly controversial War on Terror.〔 "The Prime Minister (Mr David Cameron): While there is no evidence that any British officer was directly engaged in torture in the aftermath of 9/11, there are questions over the degree to which British officers were working with foreign security services who were treating detainees in ways they should not have done. () So we will have a single, authoritative examination of all these issues. () It will look at whether Britain was implicated in the improper treatment of detainees, held by other countries, that may have occurred in the aftermath of 9/11. () I have asked the right hon. Sir Peter Gibson () to lead the inquiry." The other members of the three-member inquiry team were Janet Paraskeva and Peter Riddell.〕 He was succeeded, on 1 January 2011, as ISC by Mark Waller. Gibson is currently a judge of the Qatar International Court.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Gibson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
