Terrorism and Human Rights

Description

"Terrorism and Human Rights aims to reinforce our knowledge and understanding of the problems involved in balancing human rights protection and security concerns. It considers how these human rights issues have been raised by the various international debates and policy issues which have been created by the continuing global war on terrorism." "In the shadow of 9/11 the threat of terrorism is an ever increasing global preoccupation. This book discusses the effects of the legal and social aspects of terrorism. It does this by examining the relation between security issues and human rights from the angle of international organisations, political bodies and different countries. Some of the examples covered and which are examined in light of their approach and reaction to terrorism include the European Union, the UN, Russia and the United States." "This book will be useful for all students of security, politics and terrorism studies, but also for policy-makers, legislators, and the law-enforcers." "This was previously published as a special issue of Terrorism and Political Violence."--Jacket.
