March 3, 2023 2:30 -3:30 PM | Transnational Intelligence Oversight: Perspectives, Challenges & the Road Ahead
Posted in: Events
The event brings together human rights experts and scholars who study security and intelligence issues. It draws on a recently released report “The Question of the Legitimacy of Secret Service Coalitions Among Democracies: For a Transnational Oversight,” published by the international research collaboration GUARDINT. The discussion aims to bridge the gap between (mostly) government practices of secret coercive actions and large scale intrusive surveillance operations on one hand, and the capacity of national authorities and oversight mechanisms to be the guardians of those who claim to safeguard the people and their states, on the other hand. In the most powerful countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, the very existence of independent control mechanisms (in terms of secret services activities abroad) is subject to debate or even directly contested.
