The
National Law School of India Review (NLSIR) - the flagship journal of the
National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bangalore is pleased to
announce the VIIth NLSIR Symposium on “Bridging the Security-Liberty Divide”
scheduled to be held on December 21 and December 22, 2013 at the
National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC, opposite NLSIU Campus, Nagarhavi)
Conference Hall, Bangalore. The decade following September 11 has
been dubbed “liberty’s lost decade”, not just for the United States of America
but for the world at large, marked by increasing tension between State
interests in national security and individual liberty. As we continue to grapple
with the implications of this clash, one clear winner seems to be emerging,
best observed by examining changes in legal systems throughout this decade. The
recent upsurge of criticism against NSA activity globally, however, could be
seen as indicative of a changing trend. The VIIth NLSIR Symposium seeks to
trace this dialogue between competing notions of security and liberty, and
hopes to assess and analyse similar developments in India.
Confirmed
speakers for the symposium include Hon’ble Justice Muralidhar, Menaka
Guruswamy, Mrinal Satish, Bharat Karnad, Aparna Chandra, Chinmayi Arun, Shyam
Divan, Bhairav Acharya, Roshni, Yug Mohit Chaudhary and Saikat Datta.
