Book Description
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.

Counter-terrorism policy and human rights
Author: Great Britain: Parliament: Joint Committee on Human Rights
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780104012048
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
This report examines the Government's intention, as part of its counter-terrorism measures, to increase the pre-charge detention limit from 28 to 42 days. The Committee believes that there is a clear national consensus that the case for further change has not been made by the Government. In the Committee's view a truly consensual approach should lead the Government to accept that it has failed to build the necessary national consensus for this very significant interference with the right to liberty and withdraw the proposal; to proceed with it as detailed by the Home Office calls into question the Government's commitment to a consensual approach and raises questions of compatibility with human rights. The Committee does not accept that the Government has made the case for extending pre-charge detention beyond the current limit of 28 days, for the following reasons: i) it can find no clear evidence of likely need in the near future; ii) alternatives to extension do enough, in combination, to protect the public and are much more proportionate; iii) the proposed parliamentary mechanism would create a serious risk of prejudice to the fair trial of suspects; iv) the existing judicial safeguards for extensions even up to 28 days are inadequate.

The Government's counter-terrorism proposals
Author: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Home Affairs Committee
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780215037848
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
This inquiry concentrates on the proposal to extend the right of police to detain suspects, without charge, for longer than 28 days. The overall conclusion is that neither the Government nor the police have made a convincing case that the current limit is inadequate. After considering a proposal, from Liberty, that Part 2 of the Civil Contingencies Act (CCA) 2004 could be used in exceptional circumstances, the Committee conclude it would not be sensible to trigger a national state of emergency in the middle of an investigation. They therefore recommend that the Government seek agreement for the reform of the CCA to secure Parliamentary scrutiny and judicial oversight without the need for a state of emergency. Other recommendations from this report include; allowing the use of intercept evidence in court; allowing the police to question suspects after charge; and that inferences could be drawn from any refusal by suspects to answer such questions.

Terrorism and the Law
Author: Clive Walker
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199561176
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 629
Book Description
Terrorism law and legal practice has been politically and socially controversial to a degree beyond almost any other legal issue during the past few years, and this analytical text contains extensive analysis of these controversies. Terrorism and the Law offers a thoughtful and up-to-date discussion of all the key materials on terrorism law. It provides comprehensive coverage of all the major domestic, European, and international laws, and their impact on the UK. It also contains an extensive examination of the implementation of these terrorism laws, and of the practical issues they raise. The book contains three Parts. Part I focuses on meanings of 'terrorism' in law and political science. It provides the reader with an understanding of the phenomenon and the legal concept, including its statutory definitions, which is essential to the book's assessment of the strategies and tactics adopted in the codes of laws. It also covers normative constraints, such as human rights. Part II focuses on the United Kingdom law. It provides extensive coverage of the major UK terrorism legislation, such as: the Terrorism Act 2000; the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001; the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005; the Terrorism Act 2006; the Terrorism (Northern Ireland) Act 2006; the Justice and Security (Northern Ireland) Act 2007; and the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008. It also examines the key laws and rules relating to terrorism policing and legal processes. It discusses the meaning of these legislative materials, as well as their implementation, and includes reference to case law and practice statements from the police and courts. Part III reflects the impact of European, international and transnational laws and practices, covering international transnational cooperation and extradition, key European Union law measures against terrorism, other international law measures against terrorist activities, and international human rights and terrorism.
