LAW AND TERRORISM IN THE UK

Professor Sir David Williams is Emeritus Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, Emeritus Rouse Ball Professor of English Law, also at Cambridge, and President of the University of Wales at Swansea.

The lecture is hosted by the Law Faculty of the University of New South Wales.
