This insightful book provides an analysis of the central ethical
issues that have arisen in combatting global terrorism and, in
particular, jihadist terrorist groups, notably Al Qaeda, Islamic
State and their affiliates. Chapters explore the theoretical
problems that arise in relation to terrorism, such as the
definition of terrorism and the concept of collective
responsibility, and consider specific ethical issues in
counter-terrorism. The book discusses a range of key topics
including targeted killing, enhanced interrogation of terrorists,
preventive detention, freedom of expression and terrorist content
on social media, bulk metadata collection and responding to
terrorist attacks that use weapons of mass destruction. It also
explores ethical issues that have often been neglected, such as
psychological warfare and stings. Taking a practical approach, the
book offers recommendations for resolving these ethical problems in
counter-terrorism. Integrating philosophical and legal analysis
with empirical evidence, this book will be critical reading for
scholars and students of human rights, international relations and
terrorism and security law. Its use of specific examples of
terrorist organisations, tactics and outcomes will also be valuable
for policy-makers in the field.
