Source: BBC
16 May 2012 Last updated at 12:27 GMT
A German man who alleges he was subjected to "extraordinary rendition" by the CIA has taken his case to the European Court of Human Rights.
Khaled al-Masri claims he was abducted in Macedonia in 2003 and flown to a US detention centre in Afghanistan, where he says he was tortured.
He wants Macedonia to recognise its part in the alleged kidnap.
Mr Masri has already brought several cases against the US and German authorities, without success.
