The venue of the event will be Bocconi University, Milan, Italy.
Proposed topics for papers to be submitted include but are not limited to:
- The UN Security Council, the Counter-Terrorism Committee and the limitation of fundamental rights: issues of legitimacy.
- UN asset freezing and individual sanctioning regime: impact on fundamental rights.
- The relationship between UN Security Council Resolutions and EU law from Kadi onwards: revising the hierarchy of norms?
- Countering radicalization, violent extremism and incitement to terrorism: relationships between UN Res. 1624/2005, the CoE Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism, the EU Anti-Terrorism Directive and domestic law.
- Foreign fighters between UN law, immigration issues and national border control.

- The UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy: latest revision, concrete impact and progressing implementation.
- “New” areas of counter-terrorism, such as biometrics, data gathering, API, cyber security, weapons control.
