This book asks whether human rights, since the 9/11 attacks and the
'war on terror, ' are a luxury we can no longer afford, or rights
that must always remain a fundamental part of democratic politics,
in order to determine the boundary between individual freedom and
government tyranny. This volume brings together leading
international lawyers, policy-makers, scholars and activists in the
field of human rights to evaluate the impact of the 'war on terror'
on human rights, as well as to develop a counter-terror strategy
which takes human rights seriously. While some contributors argue
that war is necessary in defense of liberal democracy, others
assert that it is time to move away from the war model towards a
new paradigm based upon respect for human rights, an
internationally-coordinated anti-terror justice strategy, and a
long-term political vision that can reduce the global tensions that
generate a political constituency for terrorists.
