Entre eles, um dos mais proeminentes é a adequação entre as medidas e normas tomadas pela a administração pública e as normas de proteção dos direitos humanos na sua face denominada de direitos civis e políticos. O que se observou, entretanto, foi um grande desrespeito aos direitos dos cidadãos estadunidenses em prol de maior segurança contra possíveis novos ataques, permitindo diversas formas de investigações por parte de agências estatais, como CIA e FBI, torturas, prisões sem respeito ao devido processo legal entre outras medidas que atingiram não só os "inimigos terroristas", mas também cidadãos. O modo entendido pela administração de George W. Bush como ideal de contraterrorismo refletiu nas medidas tomadas no plano multilateral na Organização das Nações Unidas. A organização atende aos anseios de maior rigor no combate a essa ameaça e institui instrumentos ligados ao Conselho de Segurança, enquanto organismo encarregado de determinar as sanções. A influência do debate dos EUA no plano multilateral também se reflete nas contestações ao modelo. Baseado na concepção de que as organizações internacionais são concebidas como espaços de discussão que são capazes não só de alterar a realidade por meio da formação de consensos sobre a criação, interpretação e reinterpretação de suas próprias normas e que, assim, faz-se necessário estudar o processo normativo dessas instituições, o debate sobre as violações de direitos humanos no modelo de contraterrorismo adotado internamente nos EUA influencia e modifica o debate sobre o modelo multilateral de contraterrorismo. Este perde a sua centralidade no Conselho de Segurança e passa a ser descentralizado nos diversos organismos da ONU / Abstract: The event of September 11, 2001 challenged American society. One of the most prominent is the accordance between norms and measures taken by the Administration and human rights norms in his civil and political rights face. What has been noted, however, was a great disrespect for the rights of American citizens for greater security against possible new attacks, allowing various forms of investigations by state agencies such as FBI and CIA, torture, detention without respect for due process of law and other measures that impacted not only the "enemy terrorists", but also citizens. The way George W. Bush Administration understood as an ideal form of counterterrorism reflected in measures taken at the multilateral level in the United Nations. The organization comply with the desire for greater rigor in combating this threat and establishing instruments connected to the Security Council, as the body responsible for determining sanctions. The influence of the American debate on the multilateral level is also reflected in challenges to the model. Based on the notion that international organizations are designed as forums for discussion that are not only capable of altering reality through the formation of consensus on the creation, interpretation and reinterpretation of its own rules and that therefore it is necessary to study the norms process of these institutions, the debate on human rights violations in counterterrorism model adopted domestically in the U.S. influenced and changed the debate on the multilateral model of counterterrorism. This loses its centrality in the Security Council and shall be decentralized in the various UN agencies / Mestrado / Instituições, Processos e Atores / Mestre em Relações Internacionais

Following the events of September 11th, 2001, national attention has been captivated by terrorism and terrorism prevention. Parallel to this time of increased focus on terrorism prevention, adequate funding to support new departments or increased terrorism prevention efforts in existing departments was unattainable. Consequently, a strong need for prevention strategies that are affordable and highly applicable at the local level has resulted. Thus, it is the purpose of this study to examine methods of risk assessment and test the accuracy of such methodologies in order to assist local organizations in effectively applying limited resources for opportunity reduction at vulnerable locations based on calculated risks. The primary goal of this thesis is to test the validity of the EVIL DONE vulnerability assessment and evaluate its ability to predict the number of fatalities and injured persons resulting from a terrorist attack. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2013.

The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, resulted in dramatic legal changes in the U.S. As part of its investigation into the attacks, the U.S. Government detained approximately 5,000 "aliens" from predominantly Muslim countries. These detentions were characterized by minimal, and sometimes non-existent, habeas corpus and due-process protections. During times of crisis, care should be taken that panic not be allowed to prevail over long-cherished constitutional values. This thesis examines Government actions in light of constitutional principles to examine the larger question of whether the War on Terror detention practices have permanently undermined the rule of law in the U.S. / The factual and legal scenarios in this area have been changing at a rapid rate, and they will certainly continue to change. Those constant changes have presented a special challenge in writing this thesis. The facts and legal scenarios described herein, therefore, are current as of January 31, 2005.

Arab, Arab-American, American: Hegemonic and Contrapuntal Representations, explores the US mainstream discourse on the Arabs in the 1990s in different cultural texts: academic, popular and media, including Hollywood. The project investigates how these representational practices participate in the reconfiguration of American public opinion vis-à-vis the Arabs. It also focuses on the ways in which the various discourses that produce or even invent the "Other" are undeniably linked to the local and global power relations associated with their specific locations. Inspired by Edward Said's contrapuntal methodology, Gayatri Spivak's anti-essentialist postcolonial critique, and Ella Shohat and Robert Stam's polycentric multiculturalism, the book also makes space to examine counter-narratives and Arab perspectives. Arab, Arab-American, American´s analysis of the representation of Arabs in the US dominant media and Hollywood unravels the limits of liberalism and the "vestigial thinking" of Eurocentrism, at the heart of which demonizing or patronizing Arabs is still the norm. The book also offers a rigourous analysis of US foreign policy in the Arab world and addresses both the reality of imperialism in relation to its enablers, and the economic terrorism of neoliberalism in its various linkages with Islamic fundamentalism.
