通往无声枪炮之路：审视非洲反恐警务中国家武力使用的区域规范

　　恐怖主义目前是非洲和平与安全面临的主要威胁之一。在打击恐怖主义方面，受影响的国家经常通过其安全部队采取过度或不加区分的武力。除了违反国际法律标准外，研究表明，这种非法使用武力本身是暴力的推动因素，在一个易受暴力极端主义影响的大陆上可能使恐怖主义暴力永久化。本文评估了非洲地区系统对打击恐怖主义中过度使用武力的法律和政策回应，主要关注反恐架构和人权体系的作用。文章发现，虽然在更加尊重国际规范方面已经取得了一些积极进展，但当前的回应存在实质性的空白和不足。将明确适用规则和地区机构采取更大的行动相结合，提出了一个综合性地区应对该问题的双重框架。

On the Road to Silent Guns: Examining the Regional Regulation of States' Use of Force during Counterterrorism Policing in Africa

Terrorism is currently one of the principal threats to peace and security in Africa. In law enforcement responses to terrorism, affected states often employ excessive or indiscriminate force through their security forces. In addition to violating international legal standards, research suggests that this unlawful use of force is itself a driver of violence, potentially perpetuating terrorist violence in a continent vulnerable to violent extremism. This article assesses the legal and policy response of the African regional system to the use of excessive force during counterterrorism policing, focusing principally on the roles of the counterterrorism architecture and human rights system. The article finds that whilst some positive steps have been made towards greater respect of international norms, the current response has material gaps and inadequacies. A two-pronged framework for a comprehensive regional response to the problem is proposed, combining clarification of the applicable rules with greater action from regional institutions.
