Les actes de terrorisme représentent aujourd’hui une menace de taille pour la vie et la sécurité des personnes et un défi majeur pour les États sur le plan de la sécurité. Dans le même temps, les lois et politiques adoptées pour lutter contre le terrorisme peuvent donner lieu, directement ou indirectement, à de graves limitations des libertés et droits fondamentaux. Tel est le constat d’un nouveau rapport de l’Agence des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne (FRA). Ce rapport, qui se fonde sur l’analyse d’experts, contient des propositions sur la manière dont la lutte contre le terrorisme peut tirer parti d’une plus grande clarté juridique, d’orientations pratiques et de garanties renforcées.
