The Proscription of Terrorist Organisations in Illiberal States

该项目旨在调查2002年之后非自由民主国家反恐禁制权的使用情况。尽管禁制权是由典型的自由主义机构——联合国——颁布的，但人们越来越认识到，禁制权是不自由政权使侵犯人权行为合法化和压制政治异见的重要工具。通过对喀麦隆、尼日利亚、巴基斯坦和斯里兰卡的研究，该项目探讨了殖民禁令、联合国反恐准则和不自由政权安全的交叉点。该项目将产生关于在“反恐战争”中部署殖民控制工具的新的比较知识，并创新对全球安全政治排斥的概念见解。

This project aims to investigate the use of anti-terrorism proscription powers in illiberal democracies after 2002. Although promulgated by the archetypal liberal institution – the United Nations – proscription powers are increasingly recognised as important tools of illiberal regimes in legitimising human rights abuses and suppressing political dissent. Using studies of Cameroon, Nigeria, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, the project explores the intersections of colonial proscription, UN anti–terrorism norms and illiberal regimes' security. The project will generate new comparative knowledge on the deployment of colonial instruments of control in the ‘war on terror’ and innovate conceptual insights into the global security politics of exclusion.
