Overview

Sovereignty in the Age of Global Terrorism: The Role of International Organisations analyses the role of international organisations in adopting counterterrorism measures after 9/11 and the impact of these measures on the sovereignty of their Member States. The book examines the counterterrorism regimes of the UN and four regional organisations (with a special focus on the EU), as well as their implementation by their Member States. It includes the 2008 Kadi case of the European Court of Justice as case study of the conflicts between legal regimes that have competing mandates to fight terrorism. The relevance of the book lies in both comprehending the rationale for international actions against terrorism and the consequences on international law and State sovereignty.

Feinberg does not disentangle the web of legal complexities thrown up by the multilayered battle against the scourge of international terrorism, nor could she be expected to do so. But scholars, policy makers and interested lay readers will learn much from her coherent presentation of the manner in which states and international organizations have interacted to maximize their joint and separate efforts to combat global terrorism during the critical years examined in this book. - Dr. Rachel Frid de Vries, Justice no. 59, 2017, pp. 54-55
