Human Rights and the War on Terror: Introduction

Puntos clave

The global war on terror has negatively impacted human rights in several countries, often intentionally and unintentionally.
Human rights have been violated, trampled, and ignored in the effort to combat political extremists.
Actions taken during the war on terror show a clear pattern of restricting fundamental human rights.
The consequences of the war reveal significant tensions between national security and human rights protections.

Resumen

War rarely is good for human rights. The decision of the United States to launch a “global war on terror” in response to the suicide airplane bombings in New York and Washington has had predictably negative human rights consequences. In combating a tiny network of violent political extremists, human rights have in various ways, both intentional and unintentional, been restricted, infringed, violated, ignored, and trampled in many countries, sometimes severely.
