Download or read book Global Anti Terrorism Law and Policy written by Victor V. Ramraj and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-04-09 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All indications are that the prevention of terrorism will be one of the major tasks of governments and regional and international organisations for some time to come. In response to the globalised nature of terrorism, anti-terrorism law and policy have become matters of global concern. Anti-terrorism law crosses boundaries between states and between domestic, regional and international law. They also cross traditional disciplinary boundaries between administrative, constitutional, criminal, immigration and military law, and the law of war. This collection is designed to contribute to the growing field of comparative and international studies of anti-terrorism law and policy. A particular feature of this collection is the combination of chapters that focus on a particular country or region in the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia, and overarching thematic chapters that take a comparative approach to particular aspects of anti-terrorism law and policy, including international, constitutional, immigration, privacy, maritime, aviation and financial law.

Download or read book Report on proposed measures for inclusion in a Counter Terrorism Bill written by Carlile of Berriew and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-12-06 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lord Carlile is the Independent Reviewer of Counter Terrorism legislation. In this document he examines the range of proposals contained in the two consultation documents, 'Possible Measures for Inclusion in a Future Counter Terrorism Bill' and 'Options fro Pre-Charge Detention in Terrorist Cases', published on 25th July 2007. His overall conclusion is that the proposed measures are useful and relatively uncontroversial, apart from the proposal for a longer period of detention between arrest and charge, use of intercept evidence and enhanced sentences. Of these a prolonged and heated debate is likely on the detention issue, which he hopes will be decided by Parliament on its merits rather than by division on party lines.

Download or read book Counter Terrorism and Beyond written by Andrew Lynch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the increasing trend towards a ‘culture of control’ in democratic countries. The post-9/11 counter-terrorism laws in nations such as the USA, the UK, Canada and Australia provide a stark demonstration of this trend. These laws share a focus on the pre-emption of crime, restrictions on the right to liberty of non-suspects, limited public access to information, and increased community surveillance. The laws derogate, in many respects, from the ordinary principles of the criminal justice system and fundamental human rights while also harnessing public institutions in the broader project of prevention and control. Distinctively, the contributors to this volume focus on the impact of these laws outside of the counter-terrorism context. The book draws together a range of experts in both public and criminal law, from Australia and overseas, to examine the effect of counter-terrorism laws on public institutions within democracies more broadly. Issues considered include changes to the role and functions of the courts, the expansion of executive discretion, the seepage of extraordinary powers and pre-emptive measures into other areas of the criminal law, and the interaction and overlap between intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Counter-Terrorism and Beyond: The Culture of Law and Justice After 9/11 will be of interest to students and scholars of criminal law, criminology, comparative criminal justice, terrorism and national security, public law, human rights, governance and public policy.
