| Title | The Government liability for third actors on terrorism |
| Summary | Terrorism has been present in the world for already fifty years; it has impacted some countries more than others, this is the case of Spain and France. Because of this governments compromised themselves to combat terrorism and erradicate it, and governments realized that eliminating terrorism implies as well perventing it. Prevention of terrorism is an obligation that government have and has many sources, it implies certain actions and it is not an open letter to governments to combat terrorism irrationally. The problem is that governments by assuming obligations that grant so much discretion as the pervention of terrorism; do not want to be controled on their actions, therefore, they are reluctant to accept that type of obligations. Governments created mechanisms to avoid the assessment of their responsibility combating and preventing terrorism in front of courts. This is not because of the un willigness of governments aiding the victims of terrorism only but as well for their fear to be forced to comply with obligations they do not want to recognize. The Courts of public law can create a difference and evolve in the field of responsibility by recognizing the obligation of prevention and condemning the government for its failure in its accomplishment. |
