Abstract
Terrorism has become one of the most used (and arguably, abused) terms this decade. Not only has the world been shaken by this phenomenon in the form of various high profile, high publicity attacks; it has also been forced to take action. Unfortunately, these actions have often had and continue to have devastating and dangerous effects not only on the direction of world politics, but also on both the victims of state violence as well as the general health of civil society itself. The effects of terrorism, or rather the discourse around it, can be seen most vividly in the 'descending spiral' of the protection of human rights.
