Roundtable Communicating Fear
Event | 21 Feburary 2012
On Tuesday 21 February 2012, 12:30 - 16:00, ICCT - The Hague hosts the roundtable meeting 'Communicating Fear'.
Communication management is often a neglected strategy for countering terrorism. However in the event of an attack, adequate communication is crucial for minimizing panic and fear. This roundtable meeting focuses on the communicative aspects of terrorist threats and incidents and aims to discuss the following questions: How should we communicate about terrorist threats and incidents?; What role do we have as communication-experts in countering fear and social unrest? And how do terrorists communicate through their acts?
Seminar War & Law Paradigm
Event | 23 February 2012
On Thursday 23 February, 18.00 - 21.00, ICCT -The Hague hosts The War Paradigm and Law Enforcement Paradigm in Counter-Terrorism: Legal Implications at the T.M.C Asser Instituut. The relationship between International Law and counter – terrorism is complex and often ill – defined. In recent years the US has associated international acts of terrorism with war and its accompanying legal instruments, whereas other actors, such as the EU, have viewed acts of terrorism as criminal acts which can be dealt with through both national and international law enforcement structures and mechanisms. In terms of law, both approaches differ greatly and this seminar seeks to discuss the intricacies and implications of each approach.
