Human Rights Law and Counter Terrorism Strategies : Dead, Detained or Stateless Paperback / softback
by Diane Webber
Part of the Routledge Research in Terrorism and the Law series
Paperback / softback
Description
In 2006, the United Nations urged Member States to ensure that counter terrorism policies guaranteed respect for human rights and the rule of law.
This book demonstrates that, in many cases, counter terrorism policies relating to preventive detention, targeted killing and measures relating to returning foreign terrorist fighters have failed to respect human rights, and this encourages vulnerable people to be drawn towards supporting or committing acts of terrorism.
Furthermore, in recent years, jurisprudence and public opinion in some countries have shifted from being at one stage more protective of human rights, to an acquiescence that some particularly draconian counter terrorism methods are necessary and acceptable.
This book analyzes why this has happened, with a focus on the United States, United Kingdom, and Israel, and offers suggestions to address this issue.
The work will be essential reading for students, academics and policy-makers working in the areas of human rights, humanitarian law, and counter terrorism.
