Please note, this is conference the Law School is co-organising with a number of other institutions to be hosted by the University of Amsterdam on 23-24 February.
The EU Directive on the use of Passenger Name Records (PNR Directive) is at the heart of this emerging European security architecture. It instrumentalizes private air carriers for the indiscriminate collection and state-led automated analysis of PNR datasets relating to hundreds of millions of air passengers. Hence, when the Court of Justice of the EU decided in Ligue des droits humains (Case C-817/19) on the PNR Directive’s compatibility with EU law, it simultaneously rendered a landmark decision on this emerging European security architecture.
The objective of this conference is to explore from a multi-disciplinary perspective the far-reaching consequences that the PNR decision has on the future of the European security architecture, the protection of fundamental rights, and the accountability of different actors, including EU agencies. In light of the PNR decision, the conference seeks to address four themes:
The role of Artificial Intelligence in EU security governance
The requirements for independent oversight mechanisms and judicial review
The limits of national security exceptions
Public-private collaborations and the protection of privacy and other fundamental rights
