Abstract: (452 Views) |
Background: Terrorism is the illegal use of violence or the threat of violence against persons or property for political or social purposes. Hijacking, maritime terrorism, bombing, terror, etc. are among the methods and techniques of terrorists. The purpose of terrorism is to create terror or to force the government, individuals or groups to change their behavior or policies. Considering the ethical dimensions of terrorism, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the ethical dimensions and human rights in the fight against terrorism at the international level.
Conclusion: Among the international community, there is a lack of consensus on what constitutes terrorism. Terrorist activities are known as an unethical activity due to the violation of human rights and damage to citizens, and the founders of terrorist attacks and members of terrorist groups are morally responsible for the consequences of terrorist acts. The results of the present study showed that in addition to terrorist acts, sometimes anti-terrorism measures implemented by governments have a destructive effect on everyone's enjoyment of human rights. Actions to fight terrorism that violate human rights are counterproductive. They undermine the rule of law and the credibility of government officials, reduce trust and cooperation with the people and communities they seek to protect, and impede international cooperation in countering terrorism. In this way, instead of strengthening the ability of governments to deal with the threat of terrorism, they weaken it.
