520 _aThis articles presents arguments that explain why terrorists should not be treated as criminals or as soldiers. It suggests that they are best characterised as a third, distinct species. Although their basic rights should be honoured, e.g. they should not be tortured, on all other matters they should be subject to distinct authorities and procedures. Four commentaries are presented following this article: 'Civilian trials and the prevention of atrocities' by Marc Sageman, 'Comments on Professor Etzioni's "Terrorists: a distinct species"' by Kenneth Anderson, 'Terrorism: why categories matter' by Matthew C. Waxman, 'Counterterrorism and an imaginative right-based approach' by Frederic Bernard. These commentaries provide a platform for dialogue that looks in the ways terrorists should be viewed and treated. A final comment by Amitai Etzioni is then presented after these 4 commentaries to summarise this subject.
