Panel discussion on the impacts of Counter Terrorism Measures on Human Rights (Defenders)
By: Justice and Peace, Netherlands Helsinki Committee, Human Security Collective

Since the 9/11 attacks in New York countless laws have passed internationally to counter terrorism. For many, this is noticed only when removing our shoes or waiting in slow airport security lines. But how has this impacted human rights and those that defend them?

Come to The Nutshuis and meet three organisations working around the globe for human rights. Join this panel discussion on the impact of counter terrorism measures on human rights (defenders). Learn from experts in counter-terrorism measures and listen to the stories of human rights defenders themselves.
