Edward J. Flynn, Senior Human Rights Officer, UNSC, @UN_CTED:
I think it should be possible for principled humanitarian to exist alongside CT measures.
Let's not forget that CT is about saving lives also & find a responsible way to incorporate specific HR issues into dialogue.
Mr. Flynn: Our work is not as transparent as it could be; human rights are a core concern.
Main issue: how to define terrorism. Abuse of CT laws can result from the overly broad definitions used to stifle dissent. We are chipping away at that issue.
We are delighted to have had such an insightful keynote lecture by Prof. @JTasioulas about "Saving Human Rights from Human Rights Law” for our summer school 2018! @FU_Berlin
Yes, but those who oppose are "heard" Why aren't proponents better at explaining it to people without economics training? Its about civics. https://t.co/PVATF7Anux
