Council of Europe: Combating international terrorism while protecting Council of Europe standards and values

28 January 2016

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

"The fight against terrorism must be reinforced while ensuring respect for human rights, the rule of law and the common values upheld by the Council of Europe. It should be underlined that combating terrorism and protecting Council of Europe standards and values are not contradictory but complementary.

Parliaments and governments of member States are therefore called upon to ensure the necessity and proportionality of measures taken in their fight against terrorism."
