WHOSE SECURITY: MUST THE SECURITY OF SOME DEPEND ON THE INSECURITY OF OTHERS?
\n<\/strong>Harvard Human Rights Symposium 2016<\/em><\/p>\n

On Wednesday, March 23rd and Thursday, March 24th<\/span><\/span> The Harvard Human Rights Journal presents our Spring Symposium: “Whose Security: Must the security of some depend on the insecurity of others?\u201d We invite you to join us in exploring a variety of questions, including: When we talk of \u201ccollective\u201d security, whose security is being protected, and whose is being sacrificed? Is it true that maintaining the security of some requires curtailing the rights of others? Finally, how do we navigate answering these questions both as lawyers and as human beings?<\/p>\n

The Symposium will consist of a movie screening, a keynote address, two panels, and a concluding reception. Please find the link to the Facebook event here<\/a><\/span>. Below is a brief description, including the time and location, of each event.<\/p>\n

Jesselyn Radack served as an ethics advisor to the Department of Justice, where she advised the FBI that information from the interrogation of an American citizen in Afghanistan without his lawyer present would be inadmissible in court. Later, when the FBI suppressed that correspondence and attempted to use the information obtained during the interrogation, Ms. Radack blew the whistle on the FBI\u2019s actions. Ms. Radack is now an attorney to dozens of NSA and CIA whistleblowers, including Edward Snowden. She will speak about government surveillance and her own experience standing up for those whose security she believes deserves protecting, even in the face of powerful opposition.<\/p>\n
