Full textThis thesis explores the impact of counter terrorism measures on human rights in Kenya and Uganda. It identifies terrorism as a global problem and reviews its common features. It recognises that the human cost of terrorism has been felt in virtually every corner of the world. It analyses the nature and scope of trends of terrorist activities in Kenya and Uganda, offers possible reasons for the increase of incidents of terror and considers the challenges in combating terrorism in these countries. The thesis outlines the fundamental freedoms that are most commonly engaged in the fight against terrorism and describes states’ obligations in respect of those rights. It recognises that a significant effect of terrorist activity is the tendency to pit security against human rights. It demonstrates that legislation intended to strengthen anti terrorism efforts raise serious concerns in relation to international and domestic human rights law. The thesis investigated one central concern: How does the implementation of counter terrorism measures impact on human rights in Kenya and Uganda? To answer this question, the study sought to investigate several related questions: In the enforcement of counter terrorism measures, is it possible for governments to play by the constraints of the rule of law? Is freedom during times of emergency as important as during peacetime? Is it possible and practical to observe art 4 of the ICCPR in the war against terrorism or should a lower threshold be established?

Full textEven though terrorism has been on the political agenda for several years there is no general accepted definition of the phenomena of terrorism. Several scientist do also apply that terrorism have changed after the 9/11-attacks. The purpose with this thesis was to analyze and compare the image of terrorism represented by the United States, United Kingdom, Sweden and Norway, in an attempt to draw conclusions about similarities and differentials. The material that was used was these four nations individual counter terrorism strategy. This was made by using idea analysis and self constructed dimensions based on earlier science about security, terrorism and international law. A result of this study showed that there is a consensus about terrorism as a high existential threat because of the religious extremism that is related to Al Qaeda and justifies mass murder and have showed attempt to acquire weapons of mass destruction. On this adoption the nations in this study justifies extraordinary actions in cooperation against global terrorism. It is however some differentials about the means to counter this threat. The United States, United Kingdom and Norway describes in their strategy that the threat of Al Qaeda and its allies should be met by military force. United Kingdom describes that the military action is to consider as an exception based on the extraordinary threat that Al Qaeda poses. Sweden on the other hand shows a description of terrorism as a criminal act that should be met by national measures.

Full textMedia coverage of terrorism through its police and judicial components outshines an essential component to its structure: the funding.Money is naturally the crux of this modern-day war. Moreover, terrorist financing is a relevant indicator of the mutations of the terrorist phenomenon. Originally state sponsored, we have been witnessing, since 1989 and the emergence of the nebula "Al Qaida", the privatization of terrorism and its financing. Transnational in nature, contemporary terrorism, and its contingency of financial flows, are beyond any kind of state control.Therefore, fighting terrorist financing requires to overthrow the supremacy of stato-centrism theories, which ultimately opposes the positivist voluntarists (Hegel, Jellinek, Triepel, Anzilotti, Comte) for the benefit of the objectivist positivists (Durkheim, Duguit, Scelle, Politis).Consequently, how to fight terrorist financing nowadays?Since September 11, 2001, it has been clear that the United Nations Security Council has been trying to behave like a "world legislator". If the state level cannot stem terrorist financing, the Security Council, supranational authority, has the necessary omniscience to guide the states in this fight.In addition, for several years, because of a complex financing and of the States inanity, a myriad of infra-state actors (FATF, Wolfsberg Group, Basel Committee ...) intervenes in the financial regulation. Although these actors do not have any power of coercion, their "recommendations", "guides of good practices", "standards" and other texts, a priori devoid of normative force, paradoxically find a striking echo in national legislation.The new normative power of the Security Council in the fight against terrorist financing and the intervention of infra-state actors in the international financial regulation are symptomatic of the new relations between international law (or transnational law) and internal law, the first being able today to influence the second, or even to replace it.However, the sudden emergence of "ISIS" on the international scene in 2014 gave rise to Act Three in the history of terrorist financing: after the state tutelage of terrorist financing and the privatization of the latter, the territorialization of the terrorist economy marks a new chapter in contemporary terrorism. These new methods of financing weaken the regulatory edifice constructed in reaction to the preceding methods and incite to a modernization of the international law, as a new categorical imperative

Full textAdvances in information and transportation technology support transnational terrorist action and require a state response which takes into account the transnational terrorist movement. This response resulted in, for the United States and Spain, immigration and asylum measures that are part of counter‐terrorism strategies. American migratory and asylum measures to combat terrorism are consistent with American migratory tradition and foreign policy, while Spanish measures are consistent with international law, though in conformity with European law. The international doctrine has also justified the adoption of these measures on the basis of social contract and sovereign exceptionalism theories. However, the adoption of migratory and asylum measures to combat terrorism is part of a process of criminalization of migratory law also known as crimmigration. The migratory and asylum measures undertaken to combat terrorism have not been effective in eradicating terrorism, despite their continuous presence during migration control and treatment of asylum‐seekers, though they are valuable instruments for action against illegal migration and preserving cultural "stability". In fact, they are part of a surveillance system of alien people. The construction of this system implies the creation of an "Enemy" migratory and asylum law that considers the alien as a risk to security and consequently gives the alien an exceptional treatment which results in the loss of its legal personality. This "Enemy" migratory and asylum law enables the State to symbolically achieve its goals and obtain a new source of legitimacy

Full textHostage-taking began when man realized that he could manipulate the emotional bond between two individuals in order to force their hand and obtain an advantage. Hostage-taking is a crime extremely old and complex. It has started to fascinate our societies so much since victims have begun to be regularly sacrificed by kidnappers and negotiating authorities alike. Unlike the extraordinary media frenzy they generate, these crises seem to arouse relative indifference among lawyers and doctrine. This subject, which seems to elude the law, touches on its raison d'être: the protection of the weakest, the search for the common good and peace.This research work attempts to lay the groundwork for legal reflection on issues ranging from the use of armed force in rescue operations, to the legality of ransoms, to crisis negotiation and the role of the judge. The hypotheses put forward are systematically compared with the opinions of the operators met in the course of this work. Finally, the author takes a forward-looking look at the legal framework surrounding hostage rescue operations. Through this prism, this thesis questions the limits of the rule of law and the anti-terrorist apparatus of our societies

Addressing in the 21st century the terrorism phenomenon is a very complex and challenging task. While condemnation of terrorist acts by the international community has been unanimous and unequivocal, efforts to control this phenomenon have been marred by different approaches. A number of key issues remain unresolved and the solution has been further complicated by the emergence of new forms of terrorism. The challenge that the international community faces is transforming the statements and well-elaborated declarations of terrorism condemnation into concrete measures (legal, political, military) that can effectively address the very negative effects and consequences of terrorist acts that influence the international relations. “The international relations and the transitional process” is the introduction to the study of “Terrorism and International Law” that is followed by the description of what terrorism is and its structure. The main points to be considered are the Structure of Terrorism, Definition Dilemma, International Law, and the Counter-Terrorism in the Legal Framework. This study found that there is an empty space when it is related to the meaning of Terrorism and this affects its prevention. International Humanitarian Law prohibits the acts of violence, and it makes the difference when it is an armed conflict or not. Terrorism can be countered, but at the same time how can it be ended. A person that commits a terrorist act, for some people he/she is a terrorist, but for others a hero; for some he/she is violating other’s human rights but at the same time he/she is defending his/her owns.

This thesis is entitled “A Study on Russia’s and China’s Counter- Terrorism Laws.” In this study, we use "Non-traditional security research", "New institutionalism", and "System theory" to try to explore how we can use legal means to support the operation of action against terrorism. This article utilizes Russia’s counter- terrorism laws and China’s counter- terrorism laws as references to explore the rule of law in the action against terrorism, including the background, content, and the influence of the counter- terrorism laws of the two countries. The world has actively concluded its own counter- terrorism laws after facing the "September 11 attacks". In Russia, the "Moscow theater hostage crisis" in 2002 and the "Beslan school siege" in 2004, indirectly caused by the Chechen- Russian conflict, have also become the main factors in Russia's counter terrorism legislation. In China, the East Turkic Khaganate issue and ongoing terrorism in the northwestern regions of Xinjiang and Qingzang, together with the "July 2009 Ürümqi riots" and the " 2013 Tiananmen Square car attack", have directly influenced China's counter-terrorism legislation. In our study of the anti-terrorism laws of the two countries, we found that the main counter-terrorism armed forces in Russia is formed of the military, while in China this force is composed of the police.

This paper aims to figure out the impact of Russia’s and China’s counter-terrorism laws, which lies in restrictions on telecommunications, media freedom, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion: people do not have any chance to appeal or find out why they are charged. The UN Security Council and the European Council believe that Russia’s counter-terrorism law "Yarovaya Package" violates media freedom and freedom of speech. After the 19th National Congress, Xi Jin-Ping proclaimed the Xinjiang independence movement as terrorism in order to remove obstacles to the “maintaining stability” policy. With its counter-terrorism laws, the Chinese government is therefore able to legally establish “re-education camps”, which have caused serious persecution to the people in Xinjiang. This occurred after Xi Jinping's implementation of obstacles in Xinjiang in order to break through the "Maintaining Stability" policy after the 19th National Congress. The utilization of the education section of the Chinese counter- terrorism laws, the raising of the Xinjiang issue to the level of terrorism, and the establishment of "re-education camps" have thus caused serious persecution to the rights of the people of Xinjiang. As far as these last cases are concerned, the practice of the law violates the ultimate goal of safeguarding human dignity and freedom.

Full textO papel do terrorismo no discurso político mudou drasticamente nos últimos cinquenta anos, passando da ambiguidade para a linha de frente da política pública e das preocupações de segurança. Após os ataques de 11 de setembro, o terrorismo ganhou as manchetes dos jornais e se tornou uma prioridade de segurança global. Os governos e a comunidade internacional aumentaram as medidas para combater o terrorismo internacional e transnacional, embora não haja uma definição universalmente aceita do termo. A falta de uma definição indiscutível e juridicamente vinculativa de terrorismo deixa espaço significativo para a livre interpretação dos decisores políticos. Os governos recebem basicamente o que é uma 'carta branca' para desenvolver programas e iniciativas de combate ao terrorismo que possam levar, ou já conduziram, ao desenvolvimento de políticas que infrinjam os direitos humanos fundamentais. A tese investiga a conexão entre o terrorismo e os direitos humanos fundamentais. A questão que orientou esta dissertação é a conseqüência potencial de definições arbitrárias e politicamente dirigidas do terrorismo sobre a política antiterrorista e os direitos humanos fundamentais. A tese se move a partir de um enquadramento histórico do conceito de terrorismo que muda com o tempo. Existem muitas definições do termo e não há uma com valor legal. O atual debate sobre o terrorismo está ligado quase exclusivamente a atores não estatais, o que implica que o Estado e o terrorismo não têm vínculo, mesmo que haja evidências desta ligação. A tese examina a instrumentalização do terrorismo, a partir de uma análise do conceito baseada em três pilares: histórico, teórico-conceitual e jurídico (à luz do direito internacional e do direito internacional humanitário). Em seguida, è realizada uma análise empírica baseada nessas ferramentas por meio do uso de mecanismos políticos e legais para obter um resultado político. Para responder à questão inicial, a pesquisa partiu de uma análise histórico-documental, depois levou em consideração a literatura e enfocou como os estados usam a justificação da luta contra o terrorismo internacional para restringir os direitos humanos fundamentais. Após a análise teórico-conceitual e jurídica, a pesquisa enfoca os aspectos legais da Guerra ao Terrorismo e das políticas de segurança. Grande parte da pesquisa empírica é dedicada a investigar o caso da Turquia após a tentativa de golpe de Estado de 2016, a rever algumas decisões dos tribunais europeus, e a examinar algumas proeminentes organizações 'terroristas'. Embora este tópico represente um desafio sério, abre muito espaço para possíveis explorações de novos campos de pesquisa sem precisar de um ponto de partida fixo - ou de chegada. A tese termina sugerindo algumas direções futuras de investigação.

Abstract The issue of terrorist attacks is generally concerned internationally at present. Terrorism has never suspended in human history. With the development of technology and the coming of the age of globalization, terrorism has become a serious threat to international peace and security. Everyone has the right to be free from fear. No one can deprive such an inborn human right. Terrorism, an evil and brutal crime, ought to be punished severely. Evil deeds ought not to remain unpunished, and impunity affords continual incitement to the delinquent. In order to prevent people’s life and property from the infringement of terrorism as well as to be free from terror, a series of steps, including military actions and laws, have been taken among countries internationally to overthrow terrorism. This thesis aims to research the anti-terrorism measures from the perspective of international law. To begin, chapter 1 introduces the research motivation, goal, scope and methodology. Then, chapter 2 summarizes what the terrorism is, including the definition, features and transformation. Next, the major principle of anti-terrorism measures is presented in chapter 3. Chapter 4 turns to introduce and evaluate international convention for anti-terrorism. A discussion of the anti-terrorism applicable in the states, including America and Taiwan and an investigation of the military actions for anti-terrorism are presented in chapters 5 and 6, respectively. Finally, suggestions are given in chapter 7 to pitfalls and deficiencies of anti-terrorism measures. Key Word:Terrorism 、 Anti-terrorism
