International anti-terrorism measures existed long before 11 September
2001 but have increased markedly since. A myriad of norms in different
branches of law are now deployed to confront transnational and
domestic terrorism. There is also a proliferating body of 'soft law'
addressing terrorism, stemming from United Nations organs, specialised
international bodies and regional organisations. It is timely to draw
together these diverse legal developments over time into a single
reference work. Bringing the original documents together provides for
ease of reference and enables scholars, practitioners and students to
more easily compare and contrast various sources. The book's coverage
is comprehensive (thematically, organisationally, geographically and
temporally) and open to a balance of sources (hard and soft), but is
judicious in its selection and prioritisation of the most significant
and representative documents - in a field where there are many
repetitive or insubstantial documents. Importantly, the book looks
beyond the traditional trans-Atlantic bias towards European, British
and American sources in this area to include materials from Asia,
Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. Taken as a whole, the book
aids in evidencing the emerging field of international anti-terrorism
law.
