A “global war on terror” was waged in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Over these two decades, the U.S. and countries around the world have asserted exceptional powers to combat terrorism and skirt long-standing principles of democracy, human rights, and the fair administration of justice.
As we mark the 20th anniversary of 9/11, and in the context of events unfolding in Afghanistan, the Human Rights Center invites you to an online discussion reflecting on the diverse ways that Minnesota lawyers have been at the forefront of efforts to uphold the rule of law, safeguard human rights, and defend American values during the war on terror.
The event panel will include opening remarks by Garry Jenkins, Dean of the University of Minnesota Law School, a keynote presentation by Professor Fionnuala Ní Aoláin, UN Special Rapporteur on counter-terrorism and human rights, and a roundtable of attorneys involved in different litigation and advocacy efforts.
