- Description
- This article seeks to sketch generally the issues that America’s ‘for us or against us’ attitude in the crusade against terror raises. Underpinning this commentary is the author’s conviction that the US stance will have injurious consequences for world public order if the existing international system based on a tenuous rule of law-based framework is allowed to morph into a rule of might. The author acknowledges that there are many legal and political issues regarding post September 11 United States actions, but these have been analysed comprehensively by the author elsewhere. In this Article, the author deliberately adopts a narrow perspective focusing on the danger that the overall tenor of United States’ actions portends.
