Legal Language for Fear

Fear inspired the narrative that led to the adoption of the Paris Agreement. In September 2015, President Hollande told the United Nations General Assembly that a climate change agreement in Paris was the last chance to save humanity.

It is not a question of judging whether the Supreme Court`s action was ineffective, belated, or both.

It was probably also incompatible with the requirement in Article 78(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU that the EU`s asylum policy must be compatible with the 1951 Geneva Convention and its 1967 Protocol. Footnote 91 Again, it is important to note that fear is often a reason for hastily adopting less well-thought-out normative responses to counter a perceived threat or danger.

Similarly, the fear aroused by the wave of terrorist attacks in Paris in November 2015 led to an immediate normative reaction, namely the imposition of a state of emergency, which departed from several human rights. Once again, fear seems to have been the main trigger for the state of emergency. President Hollande acknowledged fear in his address to the nation on the day of the Paris attacks, declaring that the nation would respond to fear and defeat the terrorists. Footnote 92 The state of emergency declared on the basis of a 1955 statute was notified to the Council of Europe on 24 November 2015, together with a notification of exception under Article 15 of the ECHR. Footnote 93 The state of emergency was regularly extended until November 2017. Let the hair stand up on end to frighten, scare or scare to fill you with fear.
