Description: "This book examines the responses of the United Nations, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Canada responded to 9/11. It also examines how Egypt, Syria, Israel, Singapore and Indonesia had to do comparatively little to respond. The book provides a creitical take on how the United Nations promoted terrorism financing laws and the regulation of speech associated with terrorism while failing to agree on a definition of terrorism or the importance of repecting human rights while combating terrorism. It assesses some failures and challenges of counter-terrorism"--
