Counterterrorism, Armed Conflict and Human Rights,

These matters are examined at the national, regional, and international levels. These include policy choices associated with meeting security imperatives the tensions between the criminal justice, or preventive, approach to counter-terrorism and the military approach the identification of lacunae within existing legal frameworks and tensions between executive, judicial, and legislative responses. It focuses primarily on some of the most pressing, emerging, and/or under-researched issues and tensions. It reviews, and examines, the interrelationship between the four principal elements of the international rule of law framework (international human rights, humanitarian, criminal, and refugee/asylum law) within in which counter-terrorism responses should occur.

This book is unique, not only in terms of its multinational, multidisciplinary nature, but also due to its truly comprehensive approach.

In particular, attempts to balance the desire to achieve security with the safeguarding of human rights and other aspects of the rule of law have proved to be highly contentious. The responses of governments and international institutions to terrorism raise some of the most controversial issues of the twenty-first century.
