| Title | The impact of anti-terrorism legislation on the freedom of expression in France and Turkey: Outlook through the prism of the European Court of Human Rights |
| Summary | With the aim to effectively battle terrorism and at the same time to establish certain safeguards, many countries have adopted special anti-terrorism laws or have included anti-terrorism provisions in their penal codes. The main question that this thesis will focus on will be, how the implementation those laws impact the freedom of expression in France and Turkey? To do so, the thesis will analyze the anti-terrorism legislation in both jurisdictions, their context and implementation, through the standards in the case law set by the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights. More specifically, the thesis will focus on passive encouragement of terrorism i.e. glorification of and apology for terrorism, both vague categories that as such are prone to loose interpretation and even abuse in their implementation. The thesis will analyze the European Court of Human Rights’ already established standards in Article 10 cases related to terrorism, especially in cases against Turkey. Consequently, it will apply those standards to potential cases that may arrive as a result of the implementation of the new 2014 French legislation, after the attack of Charlie Hebdo. |
