This project examines global counter-terrorism and security networks that threaten civic space and human rights. It provides an evidence base that shows how these security norms are implemented and identifies opportunities for positive change.
The project’s goal is to increase democratic oversight of transnational security institutions and collaborate with civil society to challenge harmful practices in global security governance.
Surveillance systems and security policies do not stop at national borders. Rather, they form a global network of “security” that is anything but secure. They restrict rights, enable repression, and operate with little accountability.
This research lays a foundation for how these systems work, enabling you to investigate their presence in your country. Use these findings to ask questions, expose harms, and challenge the spread of surveillance tools.
