Abstract
TERRORISM, HUMAN RIGHTS, SOCIAL JUSTICE, FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY: SOME CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE LEGAL AND JUSTICE PROFESSIONALS OF THE 'COALITION OF THE WILLING'
Matthew Ball
By discussing relevant human rights principles and a generally accepted definition of terrorism, this paper sets out to discover whether the 'coalition of the willing' can truly fight a 'war on terror'. It does so by analysing the extent to which such values as human rights, social justice, freedom and democracy are upheld and respected within both the foreign and domestic policy of these countries, particularly within the present war. Such issues are important for legal and justice professionals, not only because their role is to protect such values, but also as they have great influence over governmental actions.
