Book Description
Counter-terrorism is now a permanent and sprawling part of the legislative and operational apparatus of the state, yet little is known about the law and practice of how it is reviewed, how effective the review mechanisms are, what impact they have or how they interact with one another. This book addresses that gap in knowledge by presenting the first comprehensive, critical analysis of counter-terrorism review in the United Kingdom, informed by exclusive interviews with policy makers, politicians, practitioners and civil society.

Combating Terrorism

ISBN:
Category : International relations and terrorism
Languages : en
Pages : 35
Book Description
The State Department's Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism (S/CT) provides policy guidance for the Antiterrorism Assistance Program (ATA). But GAO found that these offices do not systematically align ATA assistance with U.S. assessments of foreign partner counterterrorism needs nor to they consistently use country-specific needs assessments and program reviews to plan assistance. GAO suggests that Congress reconsider the requirement that State prepare an annual report on U.S. counterterrorism assistance and that State review its ATA program guidance, its use of needs assessments, and measures for assessing the ATA program.

Terrorism and the Limitation of Rights
Author: Stefan Sottiaux
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1847314112
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
Taking as a starting point the widely accepted view that states confronted with terrorism must find a proper equilibrium between their respective obligations of preserving fundamental rights and fighting terrorism effectively, this book seeks to demonstrate how the design and enforcement of a human rights instrument may influence the result of that exercise. An attempt is made to answer the question how a legal order's approach to the limitation of rights may shape decision-making trade-offs between the demands of liberty and the need to guarantee individual and collective security. In doing so, special attention is given to the difference between the adjudicative methods of balancing and categorisation. The book challenges the conventional wisdom that individual rights, in times of crisis, are better served by the application of categorical rather than flexible models of limitation. In addition, the work considers the impact of a variety of other factors, including the discrepancies in enforcing an international convention as opposed to a national constitution and the use of emergency provisions permitting derogations from human rights obligations in time of war or a public emergency. The research questions are addressed through a comparative study of the terrorism-related restrictions on five fundamental rights protected under the European Convention on Human Rights and the United States Constitution: the right to freedom of expression, the right to freedom of association, the right to personal liberty, the right to privacy, and the right to a fair trial. The book offers both a theoretical account of the paradoxical relationship between terrorism and human rights and a comprehensive comparative survey of the major decisions of the highest courts on both sides of the Atlantic.

Using Human Rights to Counter Terrorism
Author: Manfred Nowak
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 1784715271
Category : POLITICAL SCIENCE
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
While providing a substantive legal analysis of the links between human rights and counter-terrorism, this book provides the tools to successfully argue that a human rights approach does not undermine the fight against terrorism. Through practical examples, it shows that a State’s lack of respect for human rights hinders its fight against terrorism and can be counter-productive. The contributing experts represent a wide breadth of experience at the national and international levels, and bring their unique approach to each cross-cutting topic.
