Terrorism, Religion and The Challenges Human Rights Face
Journal Title: The Journal of Human Rights - Year 2010, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Peaceful life is one of the first wants of human being which are always threatened with war, civil, regional and global conflict, organized crimes, terrorism, etc. Terrorism development generally marks unfavorable environments, social- class inequality, poverty and violence of human rights. Therefore, terrorism is regarded as a new global challenge in the 3rd millennium aiming at human societies. The activities of terrorists not only do not lead to obtaining their rights or political demands but also while diminishing the bases of global peace; they will challenge human rights. Trying to deal with the relationship between religion and terrorism, this research will investigate the effect of subversive and terrorist activities on human rights and will consider the establishment of the ground for peace geography in conflict environments. It seems that, in general, the environments of terrorism development and growth are backward and underdeveloped in terms of politics, economics and culture due to internal problems or external interference, where religious extremists go toward sectarian violence providing the emergence of religious terrorism. Therefore, human rights will always face the danger of violence and damage چکیده زندگی همراه با آرامش و صلح از ابتدائی‌ترین خواسته‌های بشر است که همواره با جنگ، منازعات داخلی، منطقه‌ای و جهانی، جرم‌های سازمان یافته، تروریسم و ... مورد تهدید قرار می‌گیرد. زمینه‌های شکل گیری تروریسم عموماً بیانگر محیط‌های نامساعد، نابرابری‌های اجتماعی‌ـ طبقاتی، فقر و شرایط ناقض حقوق بشر می‌باشد؛ از این روست که تروریسم در هزاره سوم، چالش جدیدی برای جهان محسوب گردیده و جوامع بشری را مورد هدف خود قرار داده است. مجموعه فعالیت تروریست‌ها نه تنها به احقاق حقوق و یا خواسته‌های سیاسی آنان منجر نخواهد شد؛ بلکه ضمن متزلزل نمودن محورهای صلح جهانی، حقوق بشر را نیز به چالش خواهد کشاند. این تحقیق در نظر دارد با بررسی رابطه مذهب و تروریسم، تأثیر به کارگیری اقدامات خرابکارانه و تروریستی را بر حقوق بشر بررسی و زمینه‌های استقرار جغرافیای صلح را در محیط‌های منازعه ارزیابی نماید. به نظر می‌رسد محیط‌های رشد و توسعه تروریسم با توجه به مسائل داخلی و یا مداخلات خارجی، عموماً فضاهایی عقب افتاده به لحاظ سیاسی، اقتصادی و فرهنگی می‌باشد و افراط‌گرایان مذهبی به خشونت‌های فرقه‌ای روی آورده و زمینه‌های بروز تروریسم مذهبی را فراهم می‌آورند؛ بنابراین حقوق بشر همواره با خطر نقص و آسیب روبرو خواهد بود.
