This collection of essays offers an in-depth analysis of the thorny dialectic between liberty and security in the context of terrorism. International terrorism has challenged the very foundations of the democratic societies and the protection of human rights. In this context, domestic and international institutions - and above all the Courts - were burdened with the significant mission to maintain the strenuous balance between liberty and security. These essays offer the critical views of scholars from several countries (France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, United States of America, Colombia, and Canada) on the responses of democracies to specific terrorism related issues.

Despite global undertakings to safeguard the full enjoyment of human rights, culture, traditional practices and religion are widely used to discriminate against women. In this volume 17 scholars approach women?s human rights globally, regionally and nationally, combining the perspectives of public and private international law in a hitherto unique manner. Comprehensive legal, culture-based and theoretical overviews are combined with analyses of topical issues, such as unbalanced sex-ratios, intercountry adoption, women as refugees or as "surrogate mothers", violence against women and cross-border enforcement of protection orders.
