Abstract

358 THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE LAW [Vol. 28 in Europe might bring about a trend toward authoritarian tyranny. Jenkin s and Rubin take note that so far "[t]errorists seem careful not to kill a great many people," but warn that if havens flourish and sanctuary becomes easier to obtain, th e present infliction of lim­ ited casualties may well give way to more catastrophic violence. It is impossible to do justice to this encyclopedic work in the space allotted, and the issues that it raises are almost as numerous as the forms of terror-violence themselves. Other contributions sur­ vey nuclear technology, ocean vessels and offshore platforms, trans­ nationa l business operations, and practical problems of international law enforcement.

Although several members write supportively of a sanctions conven­ tion, the kinds of sanctions to be imposed are only generally indi­ cated. Yet this is the very issue that has impeded passage by the U.S. Senate of the Anti-Terrorism Act sponsored by Senator Abra­ ham Ribicoff. In sum, the
