VIDEO RECORDING OF THE LECTURE CLICK TO VIEW ABOUT THE LECTURE In this lecture, Martin Scheinin and Christophe Paulussen assess the practice of citizenship stripping as a counterterrorism measure and argue that it is problematic from both an international human rights law and a security perspective. They argue that citizenship stripping clashes with international law obligations and question whether it can be the least intrusive means available. According to the lecturers, depriving someone of their nationality does not also guarantee national security as it fails to bring people to justice, rehabilitate and reintegrate them, but rather exports the issue somewhere else, enhancing the risk of further radicalisation and threat towards national security.
