handle is hein.journals/emint39 and id is 1 raw text is: THE RISE OF COUNTER-TERRORISM AND THE DEMISE OF HUMAN RIGHTS Fionnuala Ni Aoldin* This lecture addressed the consolidation and expansion of counter- terrorism norms and institutions since 9/11. The rise of counterterrorism has enabled the consolidation of autocracy, sustained democratic backsliding and undermined the capacity of civil society to function across the globe. The impact on human rights has been extensive and highly detrimental to the most vulnerable individuals and groups across the world. Drawing on my work as United Nations Special Rapporteur on Counter-Terrorism and Human Rights since my 2017 appointment, the lecture shows the hard choices that must be made nationally and globally to reverse these trends.
