UNSR @NiAolainF begins by thanking a “friend and co-conspirator” Michael Farrell, former co-chair of ICCL.
Prof Ní Aoláin is the first woman to hold the mandate for counter-terrorism.
Prof Ní Aoláin outlines the state of emergency which in Ireland began during the “emergency” and has continued all over the island in “on-again, off-again” form throughout the “Troubles” & today with use of special courts. The extraordinary seeps into ordinary. #StatesOfEmergencypic.twitter.com/KYxM0UXj8O
There is no agreed definition of #terrorism yet there is a global architecture of repressive laws to deal with it. Sometimes domestic definitions can include women driving.
We’re hearing from @NiAolainF
@UNHumanRights Rapporteur on counter-terrorism #StatesOfEmergency
Legislation countering #terrorism often used to target & stifle legitimate dissent and protest from human rights defenders, bloggers and civil society actors.

Prof Ní Aoláin addresses Facebook’s content regulation using a definition of terrorism which they developed in line with their community standards NOT international law.
We’ll be addressing this very issue with Facebook themselves at #DHRF Saturday. #StatesOfEmergencypic.twitter.com/8iAw8Nhbf3
Min Katherine Zappone asks @NiAolainF for tips for Irish govt in relation to Irish application to sit on UN Security Council. The UNSR iterates her support & emphasises importance of states with experience of internal conflict being on the Council.
