This book is an attempt to approach the issue of defining
international terrorism, proposing that the most workable way to do
so is to achieve due balance between the two principal driving
forces of international law developments: State sovereignty
interests and cosmopolitan ideals. All those who aspire to the
promotion of international criminal justice and the fight against
impunity agree that the formulation of a universal definition of
international terrorism will further enhance the fight against
terrorism and offer a universally acceptable legal framework within
which this fight can be conducted. Discussed in an in-depth manner
are, for instance, the UN Charter Provisions, the Rome Statute and
the principle of complementarity, the Kampala amendments on the
crime of aggression, the paradigms of aggression and terrorism, and
prominent anti-terrorist Security Council Resolutions such as
Resolution 1368 and Resolution 1373. The volume broadens the
reader's understanding on how State sovereignty interests and
priorities as well as ideals of cosmopolitanism have influenced the
development of international law in general and international
criminal law in particular. Furthermore, it simplifies the
complicated picture of defining international crimes by explaining
how the 'State sovereignty' and 'Cosmopolitanism' dynamics have
also been of relevance throughout the drafting process of the
definition of the crime of aggression for the purposes of the Rome
Statute for the International Criminal Court. In addition, it
equips the reader with an understanding of the reasons behind the
lack of an international definition for terrorism and suggests an
appropriate context within which such a definition can take shape.
It intends to appeal to academics and students with an interest in
international criminal law and the international criminal justice
system, international law and security, but also to anyone with an
interest in transnational crime and counter-terrorism. Stella
Margariti has recently graduated from the University of Dundee
where she attained the title of Doctor from the School of Law.
