Three members of the editorial board of this journal comment on the 11 Sept 2001 terrorist attacks against the US one month after these events & evaluate their longer-term effects. In The Human Rights Fallout, Richard Bourne calls these events a "disaster" for global human rights work, particularly in terms of civil liberties. A call is made for an expanded role for international civil society, in general, & the Commonwealth of Independent States, in particular, to (1) take a greater role in the development of democracy & protection of human rights, & (2) expand antiterrorist activities. In Poverty and Terrorism. Reordering the Priorities, James Porter examines how these events have highlighted the persistence of gross global economic inequalities between advanced capitalist & less-developed countries, & argues that these must be reduced if terrorism is to be defeated. In A Changed World: Making the Commonwealth Relevant, Stuart Mole explores the role of the Commonwealth as a global association & identifies the contributions it could make as such toward fighting global terrorism. 6 References.
