In the decades following the 9/11 attacks, complex webs of anti-terrorism laws have come into play across the world, promising to protect ordinary citizens from bombings, hijackings, and other forms of mass violence. But are we really any safer? Has active deployment of state power secured freedom, or fatally undermined it? And, more importantly, what does the continuous rise of global anti-terrorism laws tell us about Israel’s current attacks on Gaza? In what ways have they created the political-legal landscape that has facilitated plausible genocide?
Join us for the launch of Professor Conor Gearty’s groundbreaking book, Homeland Insecurity: The Rise and Rise of Global Anti-Terrorism Law. It is a book that unpacks the history of global anti-terrorism law, explaining how they came about, how they inform Israel’s occupation of Palestine today, and the untold damage they have wrought upon freedom and human rights.
