Abstract
For those of my generation, the question always used to be, “Can you remember where you were when you heard of Kennedy’s assassination?” I can, but that question has now been replaced by “Can you remember where you were when you heard about the Twin Towers?” Again I can. But such earth shattering events have different effects. Whilst the Kennedy assassination led to a plethora of conspiracy theories, books and films, it did not have any effect on the international legal structure. “9/11”, on the other hand did.
Charles Garraway is a former Stockton Professor, United States Naval War College. He is currently an Associate Fellow at Chatham House and a Fellow of the Human Rights Centre, University of Essex.
