Canada is among the many countries faced\nwith the challenge of balancing Charter rights with effective\nstringent anti-terrorism prot ections.  The Symposium on\nCounter-Terrorism and Civil Liberties gathers leading policy\nmakers\, lawyers\, academics\, emerging scholars and stude nts to\nengage in the ongoing public policy debates improving our response \nto the current environment.\n\nRecent jurisprudential developments in co unterterrorism cases and\nlegislative initiatives suggest our country is a t a crossroads when\nit comes to determining how to correct current shortc omings. We\nbelieve it is a timely occasion to critically revisit the tene ts\nbehind counterterrorism action and\, most importantly\, create an\nint erdisciplinary forum for scholars\, jurists\, politicians and\nmembers of the civil society of different political allegiance to\nexchange on the fu ture of those decisions taken in our name.\nTo view the schedule and to re gister (registration is free but\nmandatory)\, please visit the symposium site at http://ctcl.wordpress.com/.
