Committee of Experts on Terrorism

The Committee of Experts on Terrorism, or CODEXTER, is an inter-governmental committee of experts of the Council of Europe.[1]

It was founded in 2003 to replace the Multidisciplinary Group on International Action Against Terrorism .[2] In 2018 CODEXTER became the Council of Europe Counter-Terrorism Committee .[3]

One of the principal functions of the organisation is to make profiles of each member's legislative and institutional counter-terrorism plans.[4] These profiles are short reports on member states' counter-terrorism measures.[5]

Criticism

Amnesty International has urged CODEXTER to delete the last paragraph of the organisation's Preamble, which attempts to define terrorism, as it "does not sufficiently distinguish between unlawful acts and legitimate, non-violent opposition to the actions or non-action of states"[6]

gollark: You can do```haskella <|^|> b = a + b * 2```or something like that (the operator can be composed out of an arbitrary set of symbols).
gollark: What?
gollark: You can define arbitrary operators as functions and set the precedence/infixness.
gollark: I also like how Macron has an AST with exactly 49 hardcoded operators instead of the superior Haskell way.
gollark: I like how you say this as if any of the code exists whatsoever.
