通往無聲槍炮之路:審視非洲反恐警務(wù)中國家武力使用的區(qū)域規(guī)范
恐怖主義目前是非洲和平與安全面臨的主要威脅之一。在打擊恐怖主義方面,受影響的國家經(jīng)常通過其安全部隊(duì)采取過度或不加區(qū)分的武力。除了違反國際法律標(biāo)準(zhǔn)外,研究表明,這種非法使用武力本身是暴力的推動(dòng)因素,在一個(gè)易受暴力極端主義影響的大陸上可能使恐怖主義暴力永久化。本文評(píng)估了非洲地區(qū)系統(tǒng)對(duì)打擊恐怖主義中過度使用武力的法律和政策回應(yīng),主要關(guān)注反恐架構(gòu)和人權(quán)體系的作用。文章發(fā)現(xiàn),雖然在更加尊重國際規(guī)范方面已經(jīng)取得了一些積極進(jìn)展,但當(dāng)前的回應(yīng)存在實(shí)質(zhì)性的空白和不足。將明確適用規(guī)則和地區(qū)機(jī)構(gòu)采取更大的行動(dòng)相結(jié)合,提出了一個(gè)綜合性地區(qū)應(yīng)對(duì)該問題的雙重框架。
英文摘要
On the Road to Silent Guns: Examining the Regional Regulation of States' Use of Force during Counterterrorism Policing in Africa
Terrorism is currently one of the principal threats to peace and security in Africa. In law enforcement responses to terrorism, affected states often employ excessive or indiscriminate force through their security forces. In addition to violating international legal standards, research suggests that this unlawful use of force is itself a driver of violence, potentially perpetuating terrorist violence in a continent vulnerable to violent extremism. This article assesses the legal and policy response of the African regional system to the use of excessive force during counterterrorism policing, focusing principally on the roles of the counterterrorism architecture and human rights system. The article finds that whilst some positive steps have been made towards greater respect of international norms, the current response has material gaps and inadequacies. A two-pronged framework for a comprehensive regional response to the problem is proposed, combining clarification of the applicable rules with greater action from regional institutions.
