Do counter-terrorism efforts compromise the core of the rule of law?
In short: This lecture examines how security policies in the UK and USA have disproportionately affected racial, ethnic, and religious minorities. It asks whether these practices align with fundamental Anglo-American protections for individual rights.
Professor Erik Luna explores the disparate impacts of counter-terrorism efforts, specifically focusing on the surveillance and detention of members of 'suspect communities.' The lecture evaluates whether these government actions are consistent with established legal conceptions of the rule of law.
By comparing British and American experiences, the talk seeks to identify broader lessons regarding the tension between national security and the protection of minority rights.
