US Invasions in Post 9/11 and Human Rights Violations

Abstract

Following the 9/11 incident, the United States of America launched a global “War on Terror” with aims of eradicating terrorism all over the world. In this research paper, American invasions especially on Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya as part of this war have been discussed in detail. The validity of human rights violations as justification by the US is critically analyzed as well. Moreover, US conduct as defenders of human rights in the war has also been scrutinized and questions about its behavior raised. Furthermore, the effects of the war on public opinion regarding US and human rights have also been explored.
