Terrorism and human rights: discussing politically motivated violence

Introduction

New anti-terrorism laws have been adopted in many countries, and “terrorism” has been variously defined in a range of international and regional treaties. Though human rights organisations have generally contested its use, the notion of “terrorism” is likely to continue to influence international policy and law. This project aims to assist human rights organisations to develop effective and coherent positions on politically-motivated acts of extreme violence, that will be persuasive to governments and the public, and to non-state actors who sympathise with such violence.
