Some impertinent reflections on 11 September [ANTONIO MARZAL] The impact of the events of 11 September give rises to a debate on the relationship between the law and safety and security. Between the basic rights and the security of the State and its people. In an in-depth article, devoid of academic rhetoric, the professor of the Department of Labour Law, Dr. Antonio Marzal, addresses what he terms three impertinent reflections. The first is related to the idea of the «time of the rights of man» already dealt with by Bobbio. The second reflection comes as 11 September has aroused waves of hitherto covert and latent racism. The west's hidden tendency to be in love with itself and reject the rest has rocketed since the terrorist attack. The third impertinent reflection stems from the fact that the images of the Twin Towers of Manhattan are not just the images of barbarism, but also the iconographic expression of our intimate tragedy.
