This book is a tale of two towers,two wars and two visions. The two
towers are those of the World Trade Center in New York, destroyed
by a terrorist attack on 11 September 2001. The two wars are the
War Against Terrorism and the War on Iraq. The two visions are of
the international legal and political order for the twenty-first
century. The issues involved in the War Against Terrorism and the
War on Iraq are of fundamental importance because they may define
the shape of international order for the twenty-first century. The
book has a number of themes. First, it considers the principal
international law and international order issues involved in the
War Against Terrorism and in the War on Iraq in 2003. Specific
attention is given to the application of international humanitarian
and international human rights law in the wars. Secondly it asks
how the international debate on the Iraq War was conducted and why?
Finally it questions whether the post-1945 system of international
laws and organizations is capable of surviving, and in what form?
Chapter one outlines how the relationship between war and the
international legal order has evolved and introduces the idea of
'complexity theory' as a framework for understanding the events and
issues considered in this book. Chapter two considers the pattern
of events from the attacks on the US on 9-11 to the Iraq War 2003.
Chapter three addresses the issues of law and morality involved in
the War Against Terrorism and the War on Iraq. Chapter four focuses
on the moral and legal debate around the War on Iraq and chapter
five considers the systemic consequences for international law
doctrine and practice, giving particular weight to US policy and
approaches and how other states have responded to them. Chapter six
appraises the post-war situation in Iraq in terms of political and
economic organisation and human rights. It also assesses the
consequences of the status of post-war Iraq for the wider region.
Chapter seven concludes the book by examining the possible
implications of the War Against Terrorism and the War on Iraq for
world order in the twenty-first century.
