International Human Rights and Counter-Terrorism – eBook PDF

This ebook, International Human Rights and Counter-Terrorism (PDF) provides practical and theoretical guidance to those interested in understanding the dilemmas found at the heart of counter-terror decision-making. It addresses fundamental questions such as: How can we counter extremist ideology? should terror organizations be engaged in the human rights discussion? What is the role social media plays in terrorism?

The ebook compares the practices of different countries to determine if a cohesive approach to counter-terrorism can be achieved. It not only analyses different aspects of terrorism and counter-terrorism (recruitment, ideology, education, financing, support, etc) but also explores the roles of the relevant players (courts, the press, public opinion, security forces, inter-governmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, etc) and their influence on the measures taken to fight terrorism on the one hand and safeguarding basic human rights on the other.
