Description
Many concerns have arisen regarding the war on terrorism, including the loss of US credibility and the brutal treatment by the US military of detained suspects. Winning this war is arguably the most important objective for some policymakers and politicians; yet can the United States also begin to reclaim some moral high ground in this struggle? The closure of Guantanamo Bay prison and the withdrawal of foreign troops from Iraq would be critical steps to this end. In addition, however, US foreign policy needs to complement military responses with political solutions, including holding diplomatic talks with the governments of Iran and Syria. Even more importantly, success in the war on terrorism requires an ethical vision that reduces the political tensions that have fueled the terrorist movement. Such an ethical vision would undercut the terrorists' capacity to mobilize and at the same time discourage certain states from making favorable deals with these paramilitary groups. Fulfilling this vision raises several questions. What is the relationship between an ethical international society and the struggle against terrorism? How can terrorism be deterred through the global rule of law? More particularly, how can the International Criminal Court (ICC) help in this regard?
