In my opinion since 11 September 2001 the human rights community has faced a

new challenge, namely the assault on individual freedoms in Western democracies in the
name of the war on terror. Every day governments introduce new challenges to individual
freedoms, including police powers to monitor private communications, mass surveillance
methods and broadened search and detention powers. These attacks on human rights have
been been extensively analysed and denounced by the legal community. Yet, the event
invoked by governments as a justification for all these attacks on human rights, commonly
designated as a terrorist act or as an act of war the mass killings of 9/11 was equally a
gross violation of human rights, giving rise to specific state obligations.

The primary purpose of this study is to apply criteria developed by the case-law of the
investigations into 9/11, a crime against humanity that affected in some way most
inhabitants of the world.
