Le terrorisme est odieux, comme le sont toutes les formes de crime ou de violence contre des civils. Mais le phénomène n’est pas nouveau : le droit pénal antérieur (à la Loi antiterroriste) et les accords internationaux offrent un cadre juridique suffisant pour traiter du problème, pourvu qu’on les utilise de manière adéquate. La lutte contre le terrorisme ne doit pas nous entraîner à sacrifier les valeurs et libertés démocratiques qu’elle est censée protéger.

Huit années se sont écoulées depuis l’échec de l’approche coordonnée des gouvernements occidentaux en vue de mettre un terme aux violations des droits humains en Chine par des mesures multilatérales, approche qui avait surtout pris la forme d’une résolution présentée par ces pays devant la Commission des droits de l’homme des Nations Unies (CDHNU). En 1997, le Canada a mis fin à son coparrainage de la résolution sur la situation en Chine pour entreprendre son « dialogue bilatéral Canada-Chine sur les droits de la personne ». Cette approche fondée sur le dialogue, qui a également été adoptée par plusieurs autres gouvernements, avait été proposée à l’origine par la Chine comme moyen de répondre aux critiques de la communauté internationale face à son dossier en matière de droits humains.

By charging soldiers alleged to have violated human rights in Iraq with war crimes, the U.K. is taking its international obligations seriously and "blunting the ability of extremists to exploit the Iraq war," political analysts say. The U.S., by contrast, was seen by many as covering up misdeeds at Abu Ghraib prison when it tried nine soldiers only for "infringements of military code."

Quattro anni fa per le strade di Genova si consumava un grave attentato alla libertà di espressione con l’uccisione di Carlo Giuliani e centinaia di manifestanti arrestati e torturati. I processi sono in corso e vedono imputati fra gli altri 75 esponenti delle forze dell’ordine, ma la commissione d’inchiesta indipendente chiesta da più parti, fra cui Amnesty International, non è mai stata istituita. Dal movimento “verità e giustizia” sono state consegnate le 10mila firme della petizione "Mai più come al G8" che sollecita la discussione di alcuni progetti di legge. All’udienza sui fatti della scuola Diaz il giudice ha accolto le costituzioni come parte civile del Genoa social forum, della Federazione nazionale della stampa, Cobas e Radio Gap ma rimane l’assenza del Comune di Genova. Ma intanto molti degli imputati nei processi sono stati promossi mettendo in dubbio la credibilità delle forze di polizia.
