Abstract

PART II COVERS A STATE'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAILURE TO PREVENT INJURIES TO ALIENS AND THEIR PROPERTY CAUSED BY TERRORISM. PART III TAKES UP THE QUESTION OF A STATE'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FAILURE TO APPREHEND, PUNISH, OR EXTRADITE TERRORISTS. PART IV CONTAINS CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS REFLECTING THE AUTHOR'S THESIS THAT HOLDING STATES RESPONSIBLE IN SUCH CASES FOR ACTS ATTRIBUTED TO THEM WOULD PRODUCE LONG-TERM AND POSSIBLE SHORT-TERM BENEFITS.(AUTHOR ABSTSRACT MODIFIED)...TWH
