NEW UNHRC REPORT ON THE EU PREVENTION STRATEGIES

Report of the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights while countering terrorism

A new UNHRC report on the promotion and protection of human rights while countering terrorism has been released.

According to Sergio Bianchi, author of the report referenced in the UNHRC Report, noted that “Large-scale violations of the rights of political, religious and ethnic minorities are being enabled by “deradicalization” policies and practices, based on the UK Home Office model of Prevent, which has been a-critically adopted by the EU. Even if it may sound like a paradox, today Brexit represents an opportunity for Europe to exit from the terrorism emergency and return to the traditional rights-based EU policies, with the focus on fundamental rights, the Stockholm’s Roadmap and clear jurisdictions and attribution of powers among judiciary, executive and intel agencies.”
