Winner of the 2007 Paul Guggenheim Prize! Today's terrorists
possess unprecedented power, but the State still plays a crucial
role in the success or failure of their plans. Terrorists count on
governmental inaction, toleration or support. And citizens look to
the State to protect them from the dangers that these terrorists
pose. But the rules of international law that regulate State
responsibility for preventing terrorism were crafted for a
different age. They are open to abuse and poorly suited to hold
States accountable for sponsoring or tolerating contemporary
terrorist activity. It is time that these rules were reconceived.
Tal Becker's incisive and ground-breaking book analyses the law of
State responsibility for non-State violence and examines its
relevance in a world coming to terms with the threat of
catastrophic terrorism. The book sets out the legal duties of
States to prevent, and abstain from supporting, terrorist activity
and explores how to maximise State compliance with these
obligations. Drawing on a wealth of precedents and legal sources,
the book offers an innovative approach to regulating State
responsibility for terrorism, inspired by the principles and
philosophy of causation. In so doing, it presents a new conceptual
and legal framework for dealing with the complex interactions
between State and non-State actors that make terrorism possible,
and offers a way to harness international law to enhance human
security in a post-9/11 world.
