Book excerpt: After 11 September 2001, the Council of Europe undertook to identify gaps in international law and action with a view to contributing to the efforts of the international community against terrorism. As a result, it drew up the new Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism which was opened for signature at the 3rd Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Council of Europe in May 2005. The convention aims at enhancing states' efforts to prevent terrorism and its negative effects on the full enjoyment of human rights, in particular the right to life, by measures to be taken at national level and through international co-operation. It defines three new principal offences: public provocation to commit a terrorist offence, recruitment for terrorism and training for terrorism, which are considered to be terrorist offences in so far as they are connected with the possible perpetration of the offences included in the international conventions against terrorism. Furthermore, it contains several provisions concerning the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, including grounds for refusal of extradition and mutual assistance and a provision on the protection of the victims of terrorism. This publication contains the text of the convention and its explanatory report, which is intended to facilitate the reader's understanding of the convention and its operation.

This book was released on 2007-01-22 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Council of Europe Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism was signed by the UK in May 2005 and laid before Parliament in July 2006 (Cm. 6907, ISBN 9780101690720). The UK Parliament currently has no formal role in the ratification of treaties, which is carried out by the Government under its prerogative powers. However, under the so-called 'Ponsonby rule', a period of 21 parliamentary sitting days is allowed before ratification of treaties, in order to afford Parliament the opportunity of pre-ratification scrutiny of obligations which the Government is proposing to make. The Committee's report highlights one issue of concern before the Treaty is ratified, relating to whether section 1 of the Terrorism Act 2006 (the offence of encouragement of terrorism) is compatible with the requirement in the Convention that any new offence of public provocation to commit a terrorist offence must be in accordance with the rights to freedoms of expression, association and religion.

This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faced by the threat of international terrorism, there may be a temptation for governments to react with force to address the problem, and in doing so, to set aside the legal safeguards which exist in a democratic state. However, these guidelines are based on the belief that the need to respect human rights is not an obstacle to the adoption of effective measures to combat terrorism, and they aim to serve as a practical guide for anti-terrorist policies and legislation which reconcile both requirements. Issues dealt with include: the collection and processing of personal data, prohibition of torture, measures which interfere with privacy, arrest and police custody, pre-trial detention, legal proceedings, extradition and compensation of victims.

Download or read book Terrorism and International Law written by Maurice Flory and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-05-03 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proliferation in terrorist activity has provoked an increase in the body of law, both at national and international level, which has sought to counter and prevent it. The bodies involved in this process range from the UN Security Council to government legislatures. This book is the first to address, in one volume, the wide variety of responses to terrorism as they exist in both international and domestic contexts. It also represents the first ever comprehensive collection of documents referring to terrorism which are to be found in the laws of the UK and France as well as in international law. Terrorism and International Law comprises contributions by thirteen well-known authorities in the areas of international, French and UK law, and is divided into four main sections: international cooperation against terrorism, the French and British responses to terrorism, the limits of state action and a documentary supplement. The contributors have sought to show how international and domestic law can be used together to combat the multi-faceted problems which terrorism raises. The issue of human rights is also discussed with particular reference to the jurisprudence of the European Commission and Court of Human Rights. The fourth documentary section of the book provides coverage of international treaties, UN resolutions, UK and French legislation, case-law and official statements relating to terrorism. This book provides an invaluable source of commentary and reference material in the area of terrorism and international and domestic law which will be useful for practitioners, diplomats, students and teachers.
