Terrorism is a very complex and demanding phenomenon to address. In as much as acts of terrorism are strongly condemned by the international community, efforts to address this phenomenon have been stained by differences in opinions together with competing concerns. There are various key issues lie __ ? ___and the quest for solutions has become even more complicated due to the emergence of new forms of terrorism. The international community remains challenged on how to translate the statements of international humanitarian law and well-elaborated declarations of international security law on the condemnation of terrorism into tangible measures that can successfully mitigate the very harmful effects of terrorism. Even some times, the measures of counter terrorism affect the human rights often. This leads to an obstacle in countermanding the ramifications of terrorist activities. As terrorism directly impacts on human rights, various countries have taken a number of measures to counter terrorism and some of these measures have posed severe threats to human rights and international Security law.
On the other hand, some states have been accused of sponsoring acts of terrorism in nations where they feel intimidated by grave abuse of their citizens due to torture among other violations. They have violated the international principle of non-refoulement and the respect for international security law has lacked its meaning in international fight against terrorism. This implies that, there is an urgent need to create national or even international counter-terrorism strategies that are not only intended to detect and prevent terrorism, and/or bring those responsible for these gross acts to book but they should also foster and protect human rights and international jurisprudence.
Such measures should be directed towards the conducive factors that promote terrorism, these includes; the absence of basic rule of law, ethnic tensions, political extremisms, economic and religious discrimination, and most importantly the violation of human rights. Moreover, terrorism perniciously impacts socio-economic development of states, kills friendly international relations among States, and negatively impacts the efforts of cooperation and peaceful co-existence among States, such as the cooperation for trade, growth and development.
This means that acts of terrorism must be suppressed by all means as an indispensable measure for the upholding of peace and security worldwide. The idea is that there is no clear relationship between global war on terror in the form of counter-terrorism strategies and international security law is unfortunate. International security law recognizes the important frameworks that place human rights and international jurisprudence in the context of terrorism and counterterrorism. In addition, counter-terrorism measures taken by States should prevent them from falling into snare of violating international security law as in the infringement of fundamental rights.
