Download or read book The War on Privacy written by Jacqueline Klosek and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-11-30 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's globalized society, the war on terror has negatively affected privacy rights not just in the United States, but everywhere. When privacy rights are curtailed around the world, American efforts to spread freedom and democracy are hindered, and as a consequence, Americans are less secure in the world. Ironically, the erosion of individual privacy rights, here and abroad, has been happening in the name of enhancing national security. This book sheds light on this apparent contradiction, and argues that governments must do more to preserve privacy rights while endeavoring to protect their citizens against future terrorist attacks. It is easy to forget that prior to 9/11, privacy rights were on the march. Plans were in the works, in the areas of legislation and regulation, to protect personal privacy from both governmental intrusion and corporate penetration. The need for such protections arose from the swift advances in information technology of the 1990s. But the attacks of 9/11, and the responses of governments to this new level of the terrorist threat, put an end to all that. Not only is privacy no longer emphasized in legislation, it is being eroded steadily, raising significant questions about the handling of personal information, surveillance, and other invasions into the private lives of ordinary citizens.
Download or read book The War on Terror and the Framework of International Law written by Helen Duffy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-09 with total page 1071 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Helen Duffy's analysis of international law and practice in relation to terrorism and counter-terrorism provides a framework for analysing the lawfulness of the many legislative, policy and judicial developments which have proliferated since 9/11. Among the many specific issues she addresses are targeted killings and the death of Osama bin Laden, detentions (including Guantanamo Bay), sanctions regimes, surveillance, extraordinary renditions, the prohibition on 'association' or 'support' for terrorism and the evolving preventive role of criminal law. She also considers the unfolding responses to political and judicial wrongs committed in the war on terror, such as the impact of the courts on human rights protection. While exploring areas of controversy, uncertainty and flux, she questions post-9/11 allegations of gaping holes, inadequacies or transformation in the international legal order and concludes by highlighting characteristics of the 'war on terror' and questioning its longer term implications.

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 2012-01-12 with total page 703 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preventing acts of terrorism remains one of the major tasks of domestic governments and regional and international organisations. Terrorism transcends borders, so anti-terrorism law must cross the boundaries of domestic, regional and international law. It also crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries between administrative, constitutional, criminal, financial, immigration, international and military law, as well as the law of war. This second edition provides a comprehensive resource on how domestic, regional and international responses to terrorism have developed since 2001. Chapters that focus on a particular country or region in the Americas, Europe, Africa and Asia are complemented by overarching thematic chapters that take a comparative approach to particular aspects of anti-terrorism law and policy.
Download or read book The Terrorism Acts in 2012 written by David Anderson and published by Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-07-17 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report covers the operation of the Terrorism Acts in 2012. It summarises the independent reviewer's observations of the use of the powers during the year. Although the report makes no far-reaching recommendations (unlike in previous years), it does provide a much more detailed picture of the threat to the UK from terrorism and the role of this legislation. The independent reviewer in particular presents a fuller picture of the terrorist threat to the United Kingdom and its nationals, drawing particularly on the period 2010-2012; reviews the operation of all aspects of the Acts during 2012; requests views on possible changes to the definition of terrorism, with a view to making future recommendations; records progress made in relation to previous recommendations (e.g. in relation to proscription); and identifies other important issues (e.g. in relation to Schedule 7, currently subject to parliamentary as well as judicial attention). The Independent Reviewer considers the results of a programme of cautious and selective liberalisation of UK laws for dealing with terrorism are to be positive ones but that the threat from terrorism remains a substantial one. Amongst recommendations made were those relating to the rules relating to proscription (and in particular deproscription), some aspects of schedule 8 detention and the operation of schedule 7 power to stop and examine those travelling through ports
Download or read book A Question Of Trust written by David Anderson and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [This convenience copy of the official report by the UK Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation, made available under OGLv3 on a cost-only basis] Modern communications networks can be used by the unscrupulous for purposes ranging from cyber-attack, terrorism and espionage to fraud, kidnap and child sexual exploitation. A successful response to these threats depends on entrusting public bodies with the powers they need to identify and follow suspects in a borderless online world. But trust requires verification. Each intrusive power must be shown to be necessary, clearly spelled out in law, limited in accordance with international human rights standards and subject to demanding and visible safeguards. The current law is fragmented, obscure, under constant challenge and variable in the protections that it affords the innocent. It is time for a clean slate. This Report aims to help Parliament achieve a world-class framework for the regulation of these strong and vital powers.

Download or read book Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.
