state’s commitment to respect and ensure respect for fundamental rights in the
context of terrorist threats, but also limits the measures that states may take in
derogating from rights that may properly be suspended in times of emergency
by prohibiting any such measures that involve discrimination on such grounds
as race, color, sex, language, religion, or social origin. The principle of nondiscrimination also applies to all aspects of a state’s treatment of individuals in
connection with anti-terrorist initiatives, including their treatment when in
detention.
