Abstract
This Policy Brief analyses the state of emergency regime that was declared by the French Government immediately after the November 2015 attacks, and ties it to France’s legislative response to terrorism more generally. It is observed that, at various levels, serious human rights concerns arise which are detrimental to the fight against terrorism. In conclusion, concrete policy recommendations are offered to address these concerns.
