SUMMARY:The FCDOA Online Talk by Dr Daniella Lock
DESCRIPTION:Is Outsourcing a Threat to UK National Security?\n \nDr Daniella Lock is Lecturer in Law at King’s College\, London. \nMultinational private actors such as AWS (Amazon Web Services) and Palantir have in recent years acquired many public sector contracts in countries across Europe\, including the UK. There is evidence that\, increasingly\, countries are pulling out of these arrangements on grounds of national security and sovereignty. It has been reported that the UK’s Security and Intelligence Agencies have been among those contracting such multinational private actors to achieve their missions. \nDr Daniella Lock will examine the impact for the UK’s national security of such outsourcing\, with a view to understanding the potential impact on UK national security protection\, on our democratic processes\, and on policy-making. \nShe will look at four factors: \n(i) UK national security protection; \n(ii) sovereignty; \n(iii) efficiency of public expenditure; and\, \n(iv) compliance with international law including human rights law. \nThe session will be moderated by Mr Tim Dowse who  has over 40 years of experience in security\, defence and geopolitical assessment in HM Diplomatic Service\, the Cabinet Office\, HM Treasury\, and RUSI. He served as   FCO Director of Intelligence and National Security. \n  \n
