UCTD 9/11 terrorist attacks United States (US) Terrorism Right to life Human rights Thesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa)) -- University of Pretoria, 2010. A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Law University of Pretoria, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Law (LLM in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa). Prepared under the supervision of Mr. Lukas Muntingh at the Community Law Centre, University of the Western Cape, Cape Town, South Africa. 2010. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States of America, there has been a shift in the policies of many countries to combat terrorism. Terrorism has had a devastating effect on many. These include „the enjoyment of the right to life, liberty and physical integrity of victims. In addition to these individual costs, terrorism can destabilise Governments, undermine civil society, jeopardise peace and security, and threaten social and economic development.‟ All of these also had a real impact on the enjoyment of human rights. Therefore the fight to curb further terrorist attacks is paramount. States are charged with the responsibility of curbing terrorism by their citizens. But with responsibility comes obligations to the citizenry. States should therefore not engage in policies or actions that further deprive others of their enjoyment of human rights. This is well put by Hoffman when he says „history shows that when societies trade human rights for security, most often they get neither.‟ http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ Centre for Human Rights LLM 2011-06-09T13:24:48Z 2011-06-09T13:24:48Z 10-Oct Mini Dissertation Kihara, EW 10, Impact of terrorism and counter-terrorism on the right to education, LLM Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/16771> Kihara, EW 10, Impact of terrorism and counter-terrorism on the right to education, LLM Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/16771> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/16771 en LLM Dissertations Centre for Human Rights University of Pretoria application/pdf University of Pretoria
