The defining moments of 2001, the terrorist attacks of September 11
against the UnitedStatesofAmerica,
markedaturningpointininternational lawandrelations.
Bytheirscaleandaudaciousness,
overnighttheyhelpedtopropeltheissueofint- national terrorism to the
top of the international security agenda and particularly that of
the USA, with consequences for many branches of international law,
including the jus ad bellum, the jus in bello, international law
relating to terrorism, international human rights law and
international criminal law, that were just beginning to be felt as
the year closed. The September 11 attacks were immediately
characterised by the United States 3 as an act of war, an armed
attack on such ascale asto constitute an armed conflict. Its
immediate response was to declare a so-called 'Global War on
Terrorism'. Avowedly acting in self-defense, on 7 October the US
launched armed attacks against Afghanistan, notbecause Afghanistan
wasconsidered tobelegally resp- sible for the September 11 attacks
but for harbouring and refusing to surrender members of Al Qaeda,
including its leader, Osama Bin Laden, and refusing to dismantle
terrorist training camps. Although the main target of the attacks
was Al Qaeda, the armed conflict that ensued was an international
armed conflict between the US and its allies and the state of
Afghanistan, notwithstanding that the US never recognised the
Taleban as the government of Afghanistan.
