Symposium: “Security: Changes and Uncertainties”

Thursday, October 19, and Friday, October 20, 2017, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Faculty of Law and Political Science, Lecture Hall D

Target audience: students, professionals, lawyers, practitioners.
This event, which aims to be multidisciplinary even though it will retain a predominantly legal focus, will examine the concept of security through three half-days organized around the following themes:

1. What are the contours of security? Where does the increased need for security come from? What is the political and legal discourse on security?
2. In which areas is this need particularly evident? (environment, health, counterterrorism, in particular)
3. Can we envisage the emergence of a genuine "fundamental right to security"? The assertion of a fundamental right to security, which is still under discussion, raises considerable normative issues and is also accompanied by fears and criticism regarding its scope and contours.
