Ideas in Conflict: International Law and the War on Terror
describes the transformation of international law and sovereignty
in the post-war world. It imparts the causes and consequences of
the rise of non-State actors' importance in international law, with
a focus on human rights and terrorism as two examples of this
phenomenon. After World War II, international law transformed
itself radically: human rights took a central role in the post-war
world as the legitimator of States, and as a key objective of the
international system as one of the steps to prevent another global
war. State sovereignty likewise transformed from an absolute,
indivisible, and ultimate power of States into relativized and
transferable quanta of State power, which in turn were partially
parceled upward to international organizations, downward to
sub-State public law actors, and outward to private law actors.
Terrorism is one of the latest challenges posed to the
international system by non-State actors.
