Rogue States - States Sponsoring Terrorism?

Minnerop, Petra

Abstract

Since 1994, the United States of America have been warning of a new threat posed by so-called ‘rogue states'. (1) Following 11th September 2001, a number of these so-called rogue states have been targeted as responsible for the attacks or as a result of fears that they are plan-ning further terrorist acts. The classification of certain states by degrading terminology by the United States not only seems to be fully justifiable vis-à-vis the realisation of an emerging danger; furthermore, it could be seen as movement within the international community to-wards the identification of states which threaten international security. Thus, it is important to look behind the terms: which states fall into the category of rogue states and what consequences could follow for public international law from such classification?
