Constitutional responses to terrorism
Between the Athens and Mexico City World Congresses, this research group will address a range of issues related to constitutional law, terrorism and counter-terrorism. Separation of powers, judicial and other means of controlling counter-terrorism activities, including intelligence agencies, the role of “security” in constitutions, constitutional powers to modify or breach international law and comparative analysis will be among the areas of interest. The group is chaired by Prof. Martin Scheinin who is First Vice President of the IACL and UN Special Rapporteur on human rights and counter-terrorism.
