LCIL Friday Lecture: 'Where does Counter-Terrorism go next, 20 years after 9/11?' - Professor Fionnuala Ni Aolain, University of Minnesota Law School
Lecture summary: 20 years after the events of 9/11 and as we assess the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban fundamental questions about the scope, success and future of counter-terrorism need to be asked and answered. What have the last 20 years of a global architecture of counter-terrorism delivered, what have been the costs, and how can those costs help us better understand the recent events in Afghanistan. This lecture will trace the evolution of counter-terrorism over the past 20 years, with a particular focus on the rule of law and human rights costs of global counter-terrorism practice and reflect on what may happen next.
