The attacks of September 11, 2001, the US response and the
international community's approval of the subsequent military
action represent a new paradigm in the international law relating
to the use of force. Previously, acts of terrorism were seen as
criminal acts carried out by private, non-governmental entities. In
contrast, the September 11 attacks were regarded as an act of war
which marked a turning point in international relations and law.
This exceptional and timely volume examines the use of force in the
war against terror. The work is based on the central theme that the
use of force is visibly enrolled in a process of change and it
evaluates this within the framework of the uncertainty and
indeterminacy of the UN Charter regime. The status of pre-emptive
self-defence in international law and how it applies to US policy
towards rogue states is examined along with the use of military
force, including regime change, as an acceptable trend in the fight
against state-sponsored terrorism.
