Dr. Matthew Garrod (University of Sussex) speaking during EFSAS Side-event at the 42nd Session of UNHRC
24-09-2019, Geneva
Dr. Matthew Garrod, Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Sussex and Co-Director of the Sussex Terrorism and Extremism Research Network (STERN), illustrated the legal mechanisms and framework for tackling the aforementioned challenges, which currently jeopardise peace and stability in the region. He cited the 1999 International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism, the UNSC Resolution 1373 (2001) and UNSC Resolution 2178 (2014), arguing that these legislations tend to simply explain the problem, further delegating the issue instead of addressing it.
