Contemporary terrorism is a product of globalization, a network which spreads across several countries, whose ambitions are geopolitical rather than simply national, which uses the media and is prepared to cause greater damage than the traditional forms of terrorism. The Members of the International Community must therefore ensure that all measures taken to combat terrorism are compatible with the obligations they have in virtue of International Law, and particularly the principles of human rights, rights of refugees, and International Humanitarian Law. However, it is not entirely clear whether International Law offers legitimate, valid and effective responses to terrorist threats.
