• Are you who you say you are? The EU and Biometric Borders

  26 November 2007, by Lodge Juliet
  The question of proving identity using biometric information, storing, accessing and verifying it raises more than technical questions.

The prospect of cross-border automatic information exchange and e-governance beg questions about how an abuse of power can be avoided, democratic accountability sustained, and liberty and security brought into balance.

Today’s technology enables information to go around the world in a flash. This technology also enables us to better control access to data, and to pinpoint relevant data. Today’s presentations showed that a proper deployment of technology could be a key reconciling security and privacy needs.

  22 October 2007, by Scandamis Nicholas, Sigalas Frantzis, Stratakis Sofoklis, University of Athens
  The research conducted in the framework of the CHALLENGE programme, has investigated a variety of aspects of the problematique surrounding the relationship between liberty and security. The tensions involved in this relationship could also be argued to exist as far as the relationship among freedoms themselves is concerned: the notion of Rival Freedoms represents a significant aspect of the paradigm of European Governance as a liberal regime.

• Migration Control in Europe after 9/11 – Explaining the absence of securitization

  8 October 2007, by Boswell Christina
  Rejecting the predominant view that 9/11 encouraged a ‘securitization’ of migration control, this article argues that political discourse and practice in Europe have remained surprisingly unaffected by the terrorism threat. This finding challenges the critical securities literature, implying the need for a more differentiated theory of the political system and organizational interests.

• Digital Borders and Real Rights: Effective Remedies for Third-Country Nationals in the Schengen Information System

  24 September 2007, by Brouwer Evelien
  This study examines the right to effective remedies by third-country nationals reported in the Schengen Information System or SIS. Since its launch in 1995, the majority of personal data held in the SIS concerns third-country nationals to be refused entry to the Schengen territory. The use of SIS (and the second generation SIS or SIS II) entails a risk to the protection of human rights such as the right to privacy and the right to data protection, but also the freedom of movement of persons and the principle of non-discrimination.

• La décadence sécuritaire

  24 septembre 2007, par Sainati Gilles, Schalchli Ulrich
  On a beaucoup écrit sur le « sécuritaire ». Tout en se plaignant de cette évolution de la politique d’État, certains pensent cette phase nécessaire. D’autres égrènent le catalogue des mesures répressives et sont surpris des atteintes renouvelées aux libertés, de la dimunition de la sphère privée et croient encore qu’en votant pour tel ou tel candidat, leur sort en sera amélioré.
