A decade into the rebranded Global War on Terror what does the "International Community" have to show for its efforts? Are there fewer terrorists threatening "our way of life;" are we safer to travel to see exotic cultures, and the diverse people of the planet; is the world a more just and verdant place for the efforts of the legions of protectors and billions on billions of dollars, euros, rubles, yen, and rupees directed into the vast and varied mechanisms of the Security State?
An attempt by the United Nations to ostensibly make us safe from terrorists of the non-state variety is the 1267 regime. It's an international blacklist, directed to target individuals deemed too dangerous to be allowed passage across borders, or within them for that matter. It's a regime the BC Civil Liberties Association decries as Kafka-esque and worse; they say it does nothing to protect those things our betters in government say they care most about: Liberty, justice, and individual freedom.
