CT Laws Working Group

A functioning legal regime is essential for national and international efforts to counter the threat of terrorism, domestically and internationally. International law provides a platform to (1) encourage the development of effective national legislation on counterterrorism and (2) advance international cooperation to combat multiple or coordinated threats. The pivotal role of legal regimes in the international effort to combat terrorism and other transnational threats suggests the need for a thorough understanding of relevant international law and the national legislation of partner nations.

This Combating Terrorism (CT) workshop provides a forum for regional CT experts, U.S. Government (USG) personnel, academia and representatives from relevant non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to exchange ideas and best practices.

Center faculty, USG officials and subject-matter experts drawn from government, academia, think tanks, and relevant NGOs present papers and participate in panel discussions. Conferences include participants from the USG, the private sector, academia, and the NGO community.

From 20 to 25 CT experts from the U.S. and the NESA region will present papers and engage in discussion on the national and international legal environment to combat terrorism and related transnational threats in the NESA region. These presentations and discussions will take the form of plenary and smaller group sessions at a conference of select invitees on the NDU campus. As much as possible, this workshop will draw on the work and experts associated with the NESA Center-initiated Regional Network of Strategic Studies Centers.
