Risks & Rewards of a Multilateral Counterterrorism Strategy
A New Report on Hard Choices in a Changing International Order

9 May 2008 12:15-1:45pm | New America Foundation

In Building Global Alliances in the Fight Against Terrorism, a new report commissioned by the Better World Campaign, Alistair Millar and Eric Rosand contend that while targeting and capturing terrorists remain at the forefront of the nation's counterterrorism strategy, the United States will need to adopt a much more internationalist approach -- relying on multilateral cooperation for information sharing, enhancing counterterrorism capacities of states big and small, engagement of non-traditional allies, and international legitimacy. But in a changing international landscape, what trade-offs will the next administration face?

This event is co-sponsored by the New America Foundation and the Better World Campaign, the advocacy arm of the United Nations Foundation.

Human Rights & Counterterrorism

The Center just released two reports on counterterrorism and human rights. The first, Human Rights and the Implementation of the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, looks at implementing the human rights elements of the UN Strategy and the role that the UN, regional and sub-regional bodies, and civil society have to play in that regard. The second, a Handbook on Human Rights Compliance While Countering Terrorism by Dr. Alex Conte, provides practical guidance to decision-makers on what human rights compliance means and how it is to be achieved in the context of counterterrorism law and practice.
