CoE: Counter terrorism and human rights protection

06 June 2015

Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

"Forfeiting human rights in the fight against terrorism is a grave mistake and an ineffective measure that may help the cause of the terrorists. Policies which are human rights compliant preserve the values the terrorists are trying to destroy, weaken support for radicalism among potential adherents, and strengthen public confidence in the rule of law."
