 | This activity involves 2 seminars that will focus on International Law and Counter-Terrorism |
 | The main goals of the activity are to: a) provide the audience with a new perspective on international terrorism, considering the appearance of new phenomena, new concepts and new challenges and, therefore, a new legal approach to this issue; b) discuss new legal ways to prevent and stop terrorism, taking into account new problems connected with the new forms of implementing terrorist attacks and keeping in mind the importance of a preventative approach. c) analyse this matter in the Filipino context. |
