 of human rights standards (1965 onwards) - Francesca Galli
DTSTART:20090223T194500Z

CONTACT:David Gordon
DESCRIPTION:Since September 11 2001 an implicit assumption posits the emer
 gence of terrorism as a new phenomenon\, whereas terrorism is certainly no
 t a new challenge with which liberal democracies are confronted. This rhet
 orical assertion has justified the adoption of draconian measures at the n
 ational\, regional and international level. This talk provides an overview
  of the provisional findings of my research. It discusses whether and how 
 a country (i.e. the UK\, France and Italy) confronted by a terrorist threa
 t\, can learn valuable lessons from both its past and foreign experiences\
 , in order to extrapolate usefully into the future and develop a coherent 
 counter-terrorist policy accordingly\, in the light of human rights standa
 rds.\n\nBio: Francesca Galli is a PhD candidate in Law at Pembroke College
 . She holds a Masters Degree in International Relations and Diplomatic Stu
 dies from the University of Trieste-Gorizia (Italy)\, where she graduated 
 magna cum laude\, her dissertation focusing on “Extradition in terrorism
  cases: the judicial cooperation in criminal matters from the UN Conventio
 ns to the European Arrest Warrant” (2005). She has held internship posit
 ions in the Terrorism Prevention Branch of the UNODC in Vienna (2003) and 
 in the French Embassy in London under the supervision of the liaison magis
 trate (2005). She has then completed her Masters degree in Law (LLM) at th
 e Institut d’études Politiques in Paris (2006)\, while working as an in
 tern at the French Ministry of Justice with the Italian liaison magistrate
 . Her PhD research focuses on a comparative analysis of the British\, Fren
 ch and Italian anti-terrorism legislation from the late 1960s onwards.
