This book evaluates the extent to which the international maritime security measures developed following the 9/11 attacks would be likely to prevent the utilisation of vessels to facilitate terrorist activities. It formulates suggested guidelines for the unilateral interdiction of suspected terrorist support vessels in exceptional circumstances.

This book demonstrates that, in many cases, counter terrorism policies relating to preventive detention, targeted killing and measures relating to returning foreign terrorist fighters have failed to respect human rights, and this encourages vulnerable people to be drawn towards supporting or committing acts of terrorism.

Analyses the preventative confinement of suspected terrorists with regard to different models of counter-terrorism policy within the context of international human rights law. This book draws on cases and practice from different jurisdictions including the US, the UK and Australia.

Discusses the critical legal issues raised by the US responses to the terrorist threat, analyzing their compliance with international law. This book extrapolates from the actions of the USA, looking at the difficulties modern democracies face in trying to combat international terrorism.

Taking into account legal, societal, operational and democratic perspectives, this collection connects theoretical and practical perspectives to produce an interdisciplinary and multi-stakeholder study of how we might measure and understand the impact, legitimacy and effectiveness of EU counter-terrorism. Bringing together a select group of experts in the field, particular emphasis is placed on understanding the practical experience of implementing and assessing these measures gathered from and with end users, including law-makers, policy-makers, security services, industry partners and civil society.

This book examines the constitutional implications, short- and long-term, domestic and international, of the expansion of surveillance powers after 9/11. The contributors who are leading international experts in anti-terrorism and constitutional law take a comparative approach looking at jurisdictions including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, Israel, India, Japan, China and Australia, and considers the profound effects of mass surveillance on constitutionalism and the rule of law.

From its inception, the "War on Terror" has been a heavily gendered endeavour. A careful examination of counter-terrorism campaigns outside the current "War on Terror," reveals that such national security efforts also have a complex, but often unexplored, relationship to gender. This edited volume brings together scholars from various disciplines to consider, from a human rights perspective, the many ways in which gender interacts with counter-terrorism and national security efforts by modern states.The book provides a systematic overview of the key intersections between gender and counter-terrorism considering what it means to take a gendered human rights approach to counter-terrorism measures, the patterns that emerge from such an approach, and the human rights tools that can be utilized in this endeavour. The book includes case studies of specific countries including Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the USA, exploring the intersections of gender and counter-terrorism in the specific country context, drawing both country-specific and general conclusions. It goes on to examine the narratives and common assumptions at work in the counter-terrorism context and the gendered impacts of specific policies, analyzing through a gender lens the counter-terrorism efforts associated with the post-9/11 "War on Terror" as well as other campaigns against terrorism.

Focuses on the impact of the extraordinary counter-terrorism laws outside the immediacy of the counter-terrorism context. This book draws together practitioners and academics in the areas of public and criminal law to consider the wider effects counter-terrorism law is having on public institutions within democracies.
