Abstract

Throughout 2015 and 2016, countries in Southeast Asia were confronted by acts of terrorism. This act of terrorism was spearheaded by the ISIS militant group and other radicals, which used terror in Southeast Asian countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines. The group recruits citizens from various countries to join them. This has led to complaints from multiple countries, including the United States, who, in an effort to tackle terrorism, intervened in Southeast Asian countries by such measures as the Indonesian Anti-Terrorism Law. However, interfering with other countries is not in accordance with international law. This paper examines US Intervention in Southeast Asia against terrorism in terms of international law and from perspective of human rights. © Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
