Interrvention

[ European Journal of International Law - Discussion Forum on the Attack on the World Trade Center ] [ Forum Help ]

Posted by Mark Richardson on December 23, 2001 at 15:20:04:

The concept of intervention was clearly changing over the long-term prior to attacks, with growing exceptions to the basic rule of national sovereignty, but to what extent can it be said there is a right to intervene in a state which is home to terrorists? While this may depend on factors such as UNSC backing and actual terrorist acts against other states, this seems difficult to reconcile with established international law.
Is this the emergence of a new norm?
Surely some clearer sign of UN approval will be necessary (as opposed to the resolutions)?
