- Measures to Eliminate International Terrorism.
- From our national perspective, however, allow me to share with you, Indonesia's vigorous efforts in combating terrorism. ...
- In October 2002, President Megawati Soekarnoputri signed two Government Regulations in Lieu of Law, on the elimination of terrorism. The Indonesian Government has also established an Anti-terrorism Task Force under the Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs, involving 58 government/military officials, experts, NGOs and academics. ...
- Indonesia believes that the most important task to deal with terrorism is to lay down a legal foundation that could protect both the interest of the public as well as human rights as the basis for law enforcement to root out terrorism. The strong legal infrastructure that would become the basis of our national policy as well as actions in fighting terrorism are based on both national processes as well as results of international processes. At the national level, Indonesia has enacted laws and regulations against terrorism on its own as well as from the ratification of relevant international instruments. ...
- Furthermore, in line with its commitment to combating terrorism, Indonesia enacted Anti-Terrorism Act no. ... The Act has been implemented to prosecute the perpetrators of the Bali bombing. Many assert that the Bali bombing trial, the first trial of any high profile terrorism case post 9/11, is indeed a fair trial. ...
- Fully aware of the linkage between money laundering and terrorist financing, Indonesia enacted Anti-Money Laundering Act no. 15/2002 which has been recently amended, especially by removing the threshold of money laundering. ...
- At the regional level, it is worthy of mention that in May 2002 Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines signed the Agreement on Exchange and Establishment of Communication Procedures in combating transnational crime, including terrorism. ... Indonesia and Australia will also hold a regional conference on terrorism in early February 2004. ...
- At the international stage, Indonesia currently has become party to four UN Conventions dealing with international terrorism and signatory to two others and consistently fulfills its obligation to communicate its written reports to the UN Security Council's Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC) on various national measures in the context of implementing relevant UN resolutions on terrorism. ...
- Indonesia considers terrorism to be one of the most dreadful and unfortunately increasing threats to international security, cherished humanity, human rights, national development, and our children's future. Given the sophisticated and borderless nature of terrorism, it is extremely important that international cooperation in many different fields such as information exchanges, intensified regional and international law enforcements cooperation, and also extradition, is imperative as it provides the best opportunity to address it. ...

7. At the Open Meeting of the Security Council, On Threats to International Peace and Security Caused by Terrorist Acts , 4 October 2002
- www.un.int
- 4 October 2002.
- On the anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the United States, we vividly recalled the sense of tremendous panic and profound grief caused by such a brutal act. ...
- Although much progress has been made in the fight against terrorism, the struggle must be ongoing. Only through steadfast vigilance and a comprehensive approach, with efforts made by each State, as well as determined cooperation at the regional and international levels, can we have some assurance that such acts of terrorism will not be repeated.
- First, as part of its own efforts to combat terrorism, in June Japan deposited its instruments of acceptance of the Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism. In so doing it became party to all twelve international anti-terrorism conventions. Japan hopes that every State will likewise conclude all of the anti-terrorism conventions. At the same time, we believe it is also important to further strengthen the international framework by adopting such conventions as the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism and the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism. ...
- In Tokyo on the 1st and 2nd of this month, Japan co-hosted with the Republic of Korea and Singapore the Second ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) Workshop on counter-terrorism measures. ... As a result of the very fruitful discussions, we completed work on the paper entitled "Best Practices for Counter-Terrorism Measures in Major International Events". The workshop thus offered a valuable opportunity to strengthen regional efforts to combat terrorism.
- Third, cooperative efforts to combat terrorism at the international level are especially crucial. Japan therefore remains committed to fully supporting the work of the Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC). ...

- The US and the UK have implemented emergency measures to combat terrorism. ...
- In October 2001, the US Congress approved anti-terrorism legislation, known as the Patriot Act, which provides law enforcement agencies with increased powers to monitor and detain suspected terrorists without charge or trial. ...
- In December 2001, the UK Parliament approved the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act, which allows for the detention without trial of foreigners suspected of terrorism. This Act is currently being revised, with British Home Secretary David Blunkett proposing keeping sensitive evidence from defendants and secret trials before specially-vetted judges. ...
- The so-called 'Patriot Act' was passed in late October 2001 and is aimed at preventing further terror attacks. The Act gives broad new powers to police forces and intelligence agencies, which are now able to observe and monitor the communications of suspected terrorists more easily. ... Civil liberty groups won a landmark lawsuit against the government in August 2002 regarding the disclosure of the names of an estimated 1,200 individuals who have been detained on both immigration violations and as material witnesses to the terror attacks. ... UK LegislationAfter much debate, the UK Parliament passed the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act in December 2001. The Act was intended to make it easier for law enforcement agencies to track terrorist funds and share information. Most controversially, the Act grants the home secretary the power to detain suspected international terrorists without trial if deportation is not possible. Since this provision violates Article 5 of the Human Rights Act, the home secretary had to assert that the UK is in a 'state of public emergency. ... Liberty, a human rights group, legally challenged Britain's anti-terror laws in July 2002, claiming they breach human rights. ...

- In October 2002 the Prime Minister requested the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security review all relevant intelligence and associated intelligence assessment processes, to establish whether there was any forewarning of the Bali bombings. In his report, presented in December 2002, the Inspector-General advised no such intelligence had been received by Australian agencies.
- Counter-terrorism and the threat from Islamic extremism to Australia and Australian interests overseas will remain our key investigative priority.
- Our capacity to combat terrorism will be enhanced by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Legislation Amendment (Terrorism) Act 2002, which authorises warrants to question (and in limited circumstances to detain) persons in order to investigate terrorism.
- 5m over four years that we received in the 2003-04 Budget, we will be able to improve our response to counter-terrorism priorities.

24. West by Northwest.org: State terrorism vs. individual terrorist acts
- westbynorthwest.org
- V State Terrorism vs. ...
- What is the difference between State terrorism and individual terrorist acts? If we understand this difference we'll understand also the evilness of the US policies in the Middle East and the forthcoming disasters. When Yassir Arafat was put under siege in his offices and kept hostage by the Israeli occupation forces, he was constantly pressed into condemning terror and combatting terrorism. Israel's State terrorism is defined by US officials as "self-defense", while individual suicide bombers are called terrorists.
- Arafat was blamed as responsible for this act, and the present IDF offensive has been justified through this accusation.
- But they cannot be compared to State terrorism carried out by the Israeli Government. ...
- Yet in the public debate, State terrorism and individual suicide bombs are not even considered as comparable cases of terrorism. ...
