“Fireside chat” on the changing nature of protecting the rights of victims of terrorism (hybrid session)

The “fireside chat” between the current Special Rapporteur and the two former Special Rapporteurs on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism discussed the ways in which their mandate, as it relates to victims of terrorism, has changed over time. It highlighted changes in international attitudes and organizational structures that have allowed for increased focus on victims and ways for the mandate to continue to focus on victims’ rights and needs at both the national and international level.
