Following the terrorists’ attacks of 11 September 2001, the position of executive power in the United States has grown in unprecedented way. During two presidential terms of George W. Bush, the foreign policy of the USA was based upon the new vision of global confrontation between good and evil. The war on terror doctrine, which in fact reflected imperial ambitions of the Bush’s administration, dominated the international activities of the global leader and had some impact on its allies in Europe. This article aims to analyse theoretical and factual aspects of so called 9/11 policy in the context of international public law obligations. It constitutes a specific warning against uncritical approval, on the part of states, of any leadership which follows no international regulations. In particular, the article attempts to evaluate the impact the 9/11 policy had on European states including Poland.
