PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS WHILE COUNTERING TERRORISM:. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Dec 2010, Pages: 160
The issue of terrorism and human rights has long been a concern of the United Nations. Following the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 and subsequent surge in acts of terrorism worldwide, it has become even more urgent. While condemning terrorism unequivocally and recognizing the duty of States to protect those living within their jurisdictions from terrorism, the United Nations has placed a priority on the question of protecting human rights in the context of counter-terrorism measures. This book is a compilation of findings of judicial and quasi-judicial bodies of the United Nations and regional organizations on the issue of the protection of human rights in the struggle against terrorism. Its aim is to assist policy makers and other concerned parties in developing a vision of counter- terrorism strategies that are fully respectful of human rights.
