Freedom vs control: For a democratic response

Strasbourg, 18-20 November 2015

 

How to maintain a balance between security and freedom in a democratic society under threat? Can democracies resist the escalation of fear and formulate responses based on civic responsibility and active citizenship?

Can they deal with security risks without jeopardising individual rights and freedoms? These were core questions at the World Forum for Democracy organised by the Council of Europe from 18 to 20 November 2015 in Strasbourg with the support of the French Government, the Alsace Region and the City of Strasbourg.
