By Hamid Boakai Kamara

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Recht und Kriminalit t, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: This article attempts to talk about the impact of terrorism on human rights, thereby recommending some of the measures that could be put in place in addressing some of these issues as well as safeguarding human rights. Terrorism has both direct and indirect effects on human rights. As terrorism becomes more widespread and systematic, it has emerged as a significant threat to human rights throughout the world. Terrorism has evolved from the 70's to it modern forms which is more organized, financially stable and coordinated, targeting thousands of civilians who are most times casualties' in cases of kidnappings, murder and sexual abuse; which is a grave violation of human rights. However, despite its real threat to human rights directly, the ways in which it is dealt with by some states and their agencies is critical in ensuring the success of the efforts directed towards anti-terrorism measures. Anti-terrorism measures which do not adhere to the fundamental human rights undermines the efforts in developing effective and practical approaches in countering terrorism. This is because most states have engaged in practices that are directed toward pursuing their interests, thereby violating the same rights that they claim to protect. There is therefore a need for widespread research on the impacts of terrorism on human rights to come up with practical recommendations in protecting these rights through appropriate counter terrorism measures.
