International Terrorism and Violation of Human Rights: A Legal Panacea
Abstract
Terrorism is an international crime, a menace which today forms one of the greatest
concerns of private citizens, nations and even the international community. It affords and exacerbates the problem of gross violations of human rights. Holding
perpetrators of acts of terrorism accountable for their actions is even of a greater
concern. This is a serious problem which nations and the international community
grapple with. The essence of this research is to expose and elucidate on the menace which will make for a better understanding of the effects, consequences and implications thereof. In the end, it was found that terrorism, although fraught with definitional issues, is a crime under international law and perpetrators must be held responsible for their actions. It is acknowledged that the war against terrorism is one yet to be won. But that only when won can sustainable development be assured.
