STATEWATCH launches an:
"Observatory": In defence of freedom & democracy - New laws and
practices affecting civil liberties and rights after 11 September in
the EU, UK and US
<http://www.statewatch.org/observatory2.htm>
In the wake of the attacks in the US on 11 September governments
in the UK, US and the EU are planning a number of measures to
protect against future terrorist attacks. Some of these measures
are directed specifically against such attacks, but some of the
measures are not and would, if implemented, affect the
fundamental rights of the people living in these democracies. This
"Observatory" will be tracking proposed measures by providing both
analysis and documentation so that civil society can find out what
is being planned and make its views known.
The "Observatory" covers all new EU measures with full-text
documentation and analysis plus reports from the US, UK and
other European countries.
The "Observatory" also carries in-depth reports on:
No 1: EU "Conclusions" on counter-terrorism
No 2: Creation of the EU "security state" (forthcoming)
No 3: The European arrest warrant proposal
No 4: EU definition of terrorism
No 5: "The enemy within": plans to put protestors under surveillance
plus Background reports on:
- Surveillance of telecommunications in the EU
- EU plans to police protests
The "Observatory" is on:
