Global Surveillance and Democracy in the Post 9/11 World

Maureen Webb, Canadian human rights lawyer and activist

Since 9/11 an array of global surveillance initiatives have been planned or implemented by governments. These include the NSA domestic spying program; passports and national ID cards; and a monster data mining program, Total Informational Awareness, among others. What effect does this have on democracy, civil liberties, and human rights?

Maureen Webb was a 2001 fellow at the Human Rights Institute at Columbia University. A litigator for some of the first constitutional cases heard under Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms, she is co-chair of the International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group. Her new book, ILLUSIONS OF SECURITY: GLOBAL SURVEILLANCE AND DEMOCRACY IN THE POST-9/11 WORLD, was recently published by City Lights and will be available for purchase and signing at the program. This program is cosponsored by the College of DuPage.
