Contemporary anti-terrorism legislation has raised concerns about the global evolution of law and crime control. National and global anti-terrorism frameworks include broad definitions of terrorist crimes and exceptional measures, which risk violating the rule of law and criminal justice. While these frameworks have been broadened since 9/11, the experience of the Arab world shows that wide sweeping anti-terrorism frameworks existed well before this time. This dissertation investigates the origin of current anti-terrorism laws and measures, arguing that colonialism and neo-colonialism contributed to the shaping of counter-terrorism law and policy in two case studies: Egypt and Tunisia. The investigation considers the counter-insurgency experience of Egypt and Tunisia under British and French colonialism. Colonial methods of crime control included militarism and exceptionalism, and these approaches are still used in post-colonial Egypt and Tunisia not only to bring criminals to justice, but also to suppress opponents in the name of national security and counter-terrorism. The neo-colonial influence, particularly in the imposition of global anti-terrorism obligations by the UN Security Council and FATF is investigated. These global obligations require the criminalization of terrorism financing and speech related to terrorism, with the establishment of an executive-like mechanism that allows blacklisting individuals and groups, freezing their funds, and restricting their travel, all of which have become part of Egypt and Tunisias anti-terrorism frameworks. The dissertation investigates whether such neo-colonial measures also have their roots in the colonial experience and are thus an extension of the colonial rationale in the contemporary war on terror. Finally, the dissertation examines the role of authoritarian ambition in Egypt and Tunisia in developing draconian anti-terrorism laws, which empower the government but obstruct the advancement of democratic values and the protection of human rights.

Colonialism, Neo-Colonialism, and Anti-Terrorism Law in the Arab World available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The threat of personal harm and destruction from terrorist attacks is nowhere near as great as in Arab nations. However, are counter-terrorism laws in the Arab world formulated and enforced to protect or oppress? Colonialism, Neo-Colonialism, and Anti-Terrorism Law in the Arab World examines the relationship between Western influence and counter-terrorism law, focusing on the Arab world, which is, on the one hand, a hostile producer of terrorist organizations, and on the other, a leader in countering 'terrorism'. With case studies of Egypt and Tunisia, Alzubairi traces the colonial roots of the use of coercion and extra-legal measures to protect the ruling order, which are now justified in both the West and the Arab world in the name of counter-terrorism. Colonialism, Neo-Colonialism, and Anti-Terrorism Law in the Arab World provides important lessons for counter-terrorism, not just in these countries but also elsewhere in the world.

The International Criminal Court at the Mercy of Powerful States available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book aims to investigate whether, and if so, how, an institution designed to bring to justice perpetrators of the most heinous crimes can be regarded a tool of oppression in a (neo-)colonial sense. To do so, it re-invents the concept of neo-colonialism, which is traditionally associated more with economic or political implications, from an international criminal law perspective, combining historical, political and legal analyses. Allegations of neo-colonialism in relation to the International Criminal Court (ICC) became widespread after the Court had issued an arrest warrant against the Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir in 2009. While the Court, since its entry into function in 2002, has been confronted with criticism from various corners, the neo-colonialism controversy was sparked by African stakeholders. Unlike other contributions in this domain, thus, this book provides a Western perspective on an issue more often addressed from an African standpoint, with the intention of distinguishing itself from the more political and emotive and sometimes superficial arguments that exist within critical legal approaches towards the ICC. The subject matter will primarily be of interest to scholars of international criminal law or those operating at the intersection of law and politics/history, nationals of African states and from other parts of the world professionally interested and/or involved in international criminal law and justice and the ICC, and governmental and non-governmental organizations. Secondly, the book will also appeal and speak to critical legal scholars and those interested in historical legal analysis. Res Schuerch is a Swiss lawyer specialized in the field of International Criminal Law and the ICC. He previously worked as a researcher at the University of Amsterdam and as an academic assistant at the University of Zürich.
