Nomosphone: A Global Law Podcast

For our newest episode, we explore the ongoing state of emergency in France, its constitutionality, and its effects on French citizens. The state of emergency in France was first instituted nearly two years ago, and subsequently extended several times in the face of continued terrorist attacks on French soil. Do we still find justification for this heightened state of security? Can France fulfill its obligations to EU values and fundamental rights within a state of intense security? And what does it mean for French citizens to live under a seemingly permanent state of emergency? We are joined in our discussion by constitutional law scholar Dr. Geert-Jan Leenknegt (Tilburg University) and criminal law scholar Dr. Ioannis Rodopoulos (University of Luxembourg). Join us!
