Further Information:
To what extent is a State under a positive obligation to protect its citizens against terrorism? Would it be viable to fulfill such an obligation without violating -other- fundamental rights and freedoms? Are the ordinary requirements for a fair trial compatible with national security when suspects of terrorism stand on trial?
