Publisher's Synopsis

This volume of essays, drawn from a Hague Academy of International Law' Research Centre session, tackles one of the major challenges with regard to contemporary international law. Terrorism hits at the very nature of interstate relationships since it is defined by the action of non-State actors against States, and since it gives rise in return to reactions which go through multiple channels some of which were previously unused. The sheer mobility of terrorist activity, its capacity to provoke asymmetrical confrontations, creates yet another difficulty. This collection attempts to deal with some of the complicated questions that arise from the fact that terrorism challenges and puts into question peaceful international relations in all their different dimensions.


Ce volume regroupe des études résultant d'une session du Centre de recherche de l'Académie de droit international de La Haye et traite de l'un des principaux problèmes du droit international contemporain, à savoir le terrorisme. Le terrorisme frappe la nature même des relations entre les états. Il est le résultat des agissements d'acteurs non étatiques à l'encontre des états, et les réactions qu'il entraîne se manifestent par le biais de canaux dont certains n'avaient jusqu'à présent jamais été utilisés. A ces difficultés viennent s'ajouter la mobilité des activités terroristes et leur capacité à provoquer des confrontations inégales. Cette collection d'études traite de certaines des problématiques liées à la façon dont le terrorisme compromet la paix des relations internationales, et ce sur plusieurs plans.
