Posted by Monty Siekerman on Monday, August 27, 2018

Fionnuala Ni Aolain will discuss “How can states counter terrorism while protecting human rights?” at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 29 at the law school. Her talk, which is part of the law college’s Kormendy Lecture series, is free and open to the public.

 

Her talk will address the balance between security and human rights in the post-9/11 landscape, and Ni Aolain will emphasize that one concern does not need to be sacrificed for the other, pointing out that security and human rights can co-exist out of mutual necessity.  

 

She teaches law at the University of Minnesota, is chair of the Open Society Foundation, and works with the UN on human rights.
