Drugs & Thugs: Funding Terrorism Through Narcotics Trafficking, Colin P. Clarke
Drugs & Thugs: Funding Terrorism Through Narcotics Trafficking, Colin P. Clarke
Journal of Strategic Security
To date, much of the literature on the financing of terrorism and insurgency has focused at the macro-level on groups involved in financing their organizations through involvement in the drug trade. This paper discusses some of those implications, but argues that to better understand the threat faced by the new generation of jihadists in the West, security forces and intelligence services must also look at the micro-level of how lower level trafficking, drug dealing and petty criminal activity, combined with prison radicalization and ties to the black market and illicit underworld, combine to present a new spin on a longstanding …
Britain’S Approach To Balancing Counter-Terrorism Laws With Human Rights, Christian A. Honeywood

In addressing the roles played by scholars and nations, and the effect of international law and government policy, it notes the inaccessibility of evidence, combined with a narrow application of definitions of victim groups, and a focus on written proof of perpetrator intent. Continuing persecution of survivors in the aftermath of the genocides, and government actions to erase the genocides from history, are common to both cases. …
