ICJ launches Panel on terrorism, counter-terrorism and human rights

On 19 October, the ICJ launched the Eminent Jurists Panel on terrorism, counter-terrorism and human rights. Over 18 months, through hearings in all regions, this independent Panel will examine whether counter-terrorism laws and policies are violating human rights and whether these measures are justified. The Panel is chaired by Arthur Chaskalson, former President of the Constitutional Court of South Africa and ICJ President.
