Product Description

Terrorism is often presented as the scourge of the 21st century. Yet, the September 2001 events did not come out of the blue as terrorism is not a new phenomenon. Similarly, the efforts to create the legal framework to combat terrorism go back many years. New, however, is the comprehensive and concise approach. This book introduces the various aspects surrounding efforts undertaken to enhance cooperation and coordination in the war against terrorism. It deals with jurisdiction and extradition, with the ICC and the ICJ, with safe havens and cross-border aspects.

Review
'...this Volume is more than just a (re-)collection: it should be considered extremely useful for practitioners and academics alike who wish to acquaint themselves with the extensive emerging body of international anti-terrorism law and with the ways in which international law can and ought to be employed in order to suppress and prevent international terrorism, to promote peace and justice and to deny terrorists 'safe havens'...' Nico Schrijver, Chairman of the Academic Council on the UN System, NY
