Counter-terrorism and social rights: The assessment of adverse effects of counter-terrorism on social rights of families of terror suspects and convicts in Indonesia

Abstract

The thesis investigates whether counter-terrorism enforcement in Indonesia has led to interference with social rights of families of terror suspects and convicts. In doing so, it seeks to elaborate on how violations of social rights potentially arising in this context may be determined and avoided. The legal framework employed in the thesis is mostly derived from the International Covenant on Economic Social and Cultural Rights, as elaborated upon by the respective treaty body, the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
