About
ODIHR and OSCE TNTD/SPMU will present their new jointly-produced manual on Human Rights in Counter-Terrorism Investigations during a roundtable meeting in Vienna focusing on the main human rights issues that arise in the course of counter-terrorism investigations.
The manual adopts an operational approach by exploring in detail the different steps of counter-terrorism investigations and linking them to relevant human rights standards. It covers issues such as information-gathering and intelligence; witnesses and scene examination; the arrest, detention and questioning of terrorist suspects and the integrity and accountability of investigations.
