About Book

This book examines the challenges faced in implementing effective counter-terrorism strategies within a fragmented international legal framework. It explores the difficulties arising from the lack of cohesive global legal norms and the diverse approaches of individual states to counter-terrorism. The text discusses how fragmentation in international law affects the coordination of counter-terrorism efforts, as well as the tension between national security and human rights protections. It offers insights into improving international cooperation, addressing legal challenges, and promoting peace and security on a global scale. ew events have influenced our global order as intensely as the events of September 11, 2001. At various levels in the past twelve years, persistent attempts have been made to address the threat of terrorism, yet there is still urgent need for a joint and coherent application of a variety of regulations relating to international criminal justice cooperation, the use of force and international human rights law. In an important contribution to international discourse, Larissa van den Herik and Nico Schrijver examine the relationship between different branches of international law and their applicability to the problem of terrorism and counter-terrorism. Using a unique combination of academic perspectives, practitioners' insights and a comprehensive three-part approach, Counter-Terrorism Strategies in a Fragmented International Legal Order offers sound policy recommendations alongside thorough analysis of the state of international law regarding terrorism, and provides fresh insights against the backdrop of recent practice."--Publisher's description
