Abstract

This chapter presents an overview of the problems that attacks against transport networks present for law by analyzing peacetime and wartime situations. It is argued that the relevant frameworks differ according to the situation. When terrorism attacks occur in wartime, the law of war is applicable but most states respond to such actions with a mix of international law and domestic law. The ultimate argument is that one should not treat terrorism attacks in peacetime and wartime as the same.
