Abstract

On 11 September 2001 commercial passenger jets hijacked by suicide commandos were flown into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York. As the Towers imploded and collapsed, the death of several thousand people was witnessed live on television screens throughout the world. Those attacks, together with that on the Pentagon and the failed attempt that ended in Pennsylvania, aroused profound indignation and led to immediate reactions against the perpetrators or their protectors and sponsors, and more generally against international terrorism.

11 The Final Act of the Rome Conference observes that, during the discussions, no generally acceptable definition of crimes of terrorism could be agreed upon for inclusion in the convention. It confines itself to recommending that the question be reconsidered by the Review Conference to be held in 2010 (doc A/CONF/183/10). The ICC nevertheless has jurisdiction in respect of terrorist acts that constitute crimes against humanity or war crimes as defined in its Statute.Google Scholar
