Summer Programme on Countering Terrorism: Legal Challenges and Dilemmas

Topics that will be discussed include the scope and limitations of armed conflict while countering terrorism, the interplay between international humanitarian law and international human rights law, as well as the use of drones and targeted killings more generally. In addition, the role of the intelligence community, the police and prosecutors in counter-terrorism, on both the domestic level and the level of the international tribunals, will be addressed. Considerable attention will also be paid to the legal measures in countering the foreign (terrorist) fighters phenomenon, with which a growing number of states is struggling and which will likely remain with us for the years to come. The programme is tailored towards policymakers from the international, national and local level working on counter-terrorism issues, as well as other counter-terrorism professionals working at think-and-do tanks, international organisations, universities and the criminal justice sector, who want to expand their knowledge of the underlying legal tenets and dilemmas in countering terrorism.
