This book presents an analytical study of international terrorism perpetrated by states and non-state actors from the human rights perspective. Investigating into the causes, motivations and strategies of terrorism, it makes a critical evaluation of the efforts of the United Nations to contain terrorism.
Further analysing the impact of terrorism and counter-terrorism on human rights, it discusses at length the role of armed conflicts in the infringement of human rights, anti-terrorism legislation, non-governmental actors and current trends in international terrorism. It also explains international law and the war on terror, with special focus on the US-European schism.
