This contribution is written in homage to Professor Romualdo Bermejo García and Professor Cesáreo Gutiérrez Espada. In times of terrorism, the need for security in societies grows. Indeed, the terrorist threat seems omnipresent. Public media inform on a nearly daily basis of looming or recently prevented terrorist attacks. Hand in hand with increasing insecurity, state measures to reduce the perceived threat are adopted. Measures include, for example, intensified video or telephone surveillance, the prohibition of media and political parties, which are accused of spreading terrorist propaganda, or the detention of suspected terrorists. At times, «convincing » interrogation techniques, the expulsion of terrorists to third states or even their «elimination»/execution to prevent an imminent terrorist attack are at stake. […]

2. A general human rights perspective on liberty versus security.
3. Liberty versus security? – The framework of the European Convention on Human Rights.
