Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the global threat of international terrorism became starkly clear, prompting the European Union to enhance its anti-terrorist laws and policies. Although these measures were not specifically aimed at EU member states, they have led to the adoption of legal instruments that conflict with international and European human rights law. Despite this significant shift, the extent to which the EU adheres to human rights law in combating terrorism has received limited attention. Irina Wiegand addresses this critical issue, providing a comprehensive exploration of terrorism and the current legal framework surrounding it. The book examines the EU's responses to terrorism while focusing on their alignment with human rights law. It delves into international and regional human rights legislation and analyzes the EU's legal practices and the rulings of European Courts. Readers will gain insights into the complexities of defining 'terrorism,' the legitimacy of state self-defense post-attack, the evolution of European anti-terrorist legislation, and potential violations of human rights conventions by the EU. This work is essential for anyone seeking to understand these pressing issues.
