  ABSTRACT: The role of the Security Council to combat terrorism had obviously grown since 9/11. The Council adopted numerous resolutions which carry commitments upon the Member States to counter-terrorism. In turn, the States have enacted or amended laws. Some of these laws and measures have shown negative effects on human rights. As a result, the Security Council has gradually indicated to the significance of protection human rights while countering terrorism. However, the practice of States, besides the presence of some gaps in the decisions of the Council, is still reflecting violations of human rights. Consequently, the Council must take effective ways to guarantee human rights and to achieve positive results in the fight against terrorism. This paper examines the anti-terrorism efforts of the Security Council and its impact on human rights. It is concentrated on the Council’s response to such violations. Resultantly, this study provides recommendations to ensure human rights while combating terrorism.
