- www.courtsni.gov.uk
- 5 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
- “12 The material is sought to further the investigation in relation to the offence of membership of a proscribed organisation, namely the Ulster Freedom Fighters (UFF) contrary to Section 11 of the Terrorism Act 2000 and other related terrorist offences. ...
- 6 Section 32 of the Terrorism Act 2000 (the 2000 Act) provides. ...
- “In this Act “terrorist investigation” means an investigation of –.
- (a) the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, .
- (b) an act which appears to have been done for the purposes of terrorism, .
- (e) the commission, preparation or instigation of an offence under this Act. ...
- 6(2) and (3) of the 2000 Act the court has to be satisfied of a number of matters, namely that the order is sought for the purposes of a terrorist investigation; whether the material sought is likely to be of substantial value to a terrorist investigation; and the benefit likely to accrue to a terrorist investigation if the material is obtained. ...
- “Sometimes an act may serve two or more purposes, some authorised and some not, and it may be a question whether the public authority may kill two birds with one stone. The general rule is that its action will be lawful provided that the permitted purpose is the true and dominant purpose behind the act, even though some secondary or incidental advantage may be gained for some purpose which is outside the authority’s powers. ...
- 8 I consider that this test should be applied to any application under the Terrorism Act to ensure that an order is only granted where the true purpose of the application is to further an investigation into a specified offence or offences committed by either an identifiable individual or individuals, or an unidentifiable individual or individuals whose actions can be shown to amount to specific criminal offences within the ambit of Section 32 of the Act. ...
- 10 In his written judgment relating to an application by the RUC seeking production of film relating to public disorder on 12 and 13 July 2001 at Ardoyne, Belfast, His Honour Judge Burgess dealt with the question of whether applications under the 2000 Act should be heard in camera.
- There is also nothing within the Act itself that requires, or even indicates, that the hearing under its provision should be heard in chambers. ...
- 12 I have already set out the basis upon which the application is brought and it is common case that as framed the application is brought for the purposes of a terrorist investigation and I am satisfied that the application is within the terms of section 32(b) of the 2000 Act. ...
- 5 of the 2000 Act. In the absence of some reason to believe that such material exists it would be a speculative enquiry and so would fall foul of the test propounded in Re Moloney’s Application 2000 NIJB at 207 where the Lord Chief Justice observed in a similar situation.

56. Bush vows decades of war for “democracy” in the Middle East By Bill Vann
- www.aljazeerah.info
- Throughout the period of the Cold War, Washington depicted every act of aggression—from the killing of 3 million people in the Vietnam War to the series of fascist-military coups that plunged most of Latin America into dictatorship—as a blow for “democracy. ... Under conditions in which the US has conducted an unlawful war of aggression against Iraq and is ruling the country under a regime of military occupation, for Bush to pose as the champion of democratic liberation is an act of breathtaking arrogance and cynicism. ...
- Two court verdicts last month have not only highlighted the anti-democratic nature of the legislation passed on the basis of supposedly fighting terrorism post-September 11, but added significantly to the draconian powers the Labour government and the police have accrued to themselves. On October 29, 10 men accused of being involved in international terrorism lost an appeal against their detention without charge or trial since 2001. ... The 10 were interned under the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, which added to the powers contained in the Terrorism Act 2000 and came into force two months after the September 11 bombings. ... None have been accused of actual crimes, but only of membership of one of the 39 organisations proscribed under the Terrorism Act. ... In making its verdict, SIAC operated on the assumption that the government only had to prove it had “reasonable grounds to suspect” the men were linked with terrorism. ... The detention powers in part four of the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act are immigration powers that can presently only be used regarding foreign nationals. ... If they are so convinced these men, held in jail for nearly two years, are involved in terrorism, why will they not put them on trial? Is it because they know that this so-called evidence has been obtained from prisoners tortured by the secret police of countries regarded as friendly to Britain but with a proven record of human rights abuse? “The fact is that we are following the example of the US and allowing our dirty work to be done in the torture chambers of foreign countries. ... Each knows that he has been involved in no action in support of terrorism. ... On November 30, civil rights campaigners lost their appeal to the High Court against Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir John Stevens and Blunkett for employing special powers to stop and search under the Terrorism Act 2000 against peaceful demonstrators at Europe’s largest arms fair, held at the ExCel Centre in London’s Docklands in September. ... Dozens of protesters were stopped and at least 2 of the 154 people arrested were detained under the Terrorism Act. The court found that “The exercise and use of the power was proportionate to the gravity of the terrorism risk.
57. Workers Daily Internet Edition Year 2003 No. 115
- www.rcpbml.org.uk
- The Queens speech yesterday represents the escalation of the governments Third Way anti-social offensive of its second term in the context of the agenda of the war against terrorism, of putting the burden of the capitalist crisis onto the backs of working people, of delivering social programmes to the benefit of the rich, and of attacking democratic rights under the banner of social justice.
- Under the banner of fighting terrorism, it is to codify in legislation the arbitrary draconian authority of the state to declare states of emergency and authorise the police to act with impunity.
- The Civil Contingencies Bill, under the banner of fighting terrorism, is to further codify in law the absolute power of the state to suspend all civil liberties and violate such elementary rights as that of association by the declaration of states of emergency. ...
- It will replace the 1920 Emergency Powers Act and the 1948 Civil Defence Act. ...
- Such anti-terrorism legislation has always been pushed through under such emergency pretexts. ... The original Prevention of Terrorism Act was passed in 1974 in the wake of the Birmingham pub bombings, and under it countless well-publicised miscarriages of justice were perpetrated.
- Reports have said that the government's final legislation is likely to concede that the emergency regulations can be overturned if they breach the Human Rights Act or other laws. Initially the Cabinet Office had said a derogation from the Human Rights Act could have been sought in certain circumstances. However, what reliance can be placed on these reports can be seen from the fact that the present unending state of emergency has involved the derogation from articles of the Human Rights Act.
- Under the pretext of putting in place measures to fight terrorism or other catastrophic situations, the government is codifying into legislation its power to act with arbitrary force, regardless of the rights of the working class and people. The new legislation adds to the overkill of the already huge mass of legislation which not only tears up any so-called guarantees of democratic rights and freedoms, but is at hand to clamp down on any popular unrest, while the main enemy is portrayed as international terrorism. ... The working class and people cannot accept that under the banner of fighting terrorism or any other pretext the state is given the legislative power to use its supreme force against the people and to criminalise protest, dissent and struggle for the peoples interests, but must vigorously oppose all such legislation.

- The Terrorism Act 2000 came into force on 19 February 2001, and has implications for us in relation to all aspects of our casework. We have made a number of public statements on charities and terrorism, and our position is set out on our website. ...
- Under Part II of the Act, the Secretary of State has the power to proscribe any organisation which he believes 'is concerned in terrorism'. An organisation is 'concerned in terrorism' if it commits or participates in acts of terrorism, prepares for terrorism, promotes or encourages terrorism, or is otherwise concerned in terrorism either in the UK or abroad. ...
- The second schedule of the Act lists organisations connected with the affairs of Northern Ireland, which were already proscribed. On 29 March 2001 further organisations were proscribed by Order (SI 2001/1261) under the Act. ... Whilst the Terrorism Act 2000 is the principal piece of legislation which currently defines terrorist ('proscribed') organisations and the penalties for having any links with them, there is a broader context which caseworkers need to be aware of. For example, there may be organisations which are not listed in the Terrorism Act 2000, or by the Home Secretary, but which nonetheless, we might regard as terrorist organisations. ...

- Briefing on the Terrorism Bill.
- The UK government has issued, for parliamentary debate, the ''Terrorism Bill'' in which it seeks to introduce -- into permanent legislation -- provisions which either directly contravene international human rights treaties to which UK is a party(1), or may result in human rights violations. ...
- This different treatment is not based on the seriousness of the criminal act itself but rather on the motivation behind the act, defined in the Bill as ''political, religious or ideological''. ...
- The proposed definition of ''terrorism'' widens the existing legal definition(3) to include ''the use or threat. ... The inclusion of ''violence to property'' as opposed to the existing criminal offence of ''damage to property'' appears to equate people and property, whereas in the past terrorism provisions have been reserved for crimes involving the most serious injury to people, including injury resulting in death. ...
- The risk of politically-motivated prosecutions is also to be seen in the new offence of ''inciting terrorism overseas'', because decisions may be affected by government foreign policy. ...
- The powers of arrest in the Terrorism Bill are derived from current emergency legislation. Of the thousands of people who have been detained in Britain under the Prevention of Terrorism Act, the vast majority were released without charge; only a fraction of them were charged with offences linked to terrorism.
- The second ground, to prevent them from committing an offence, has been interpreted by the European Court of Human Rights as meaning that the anticipated offence must be a ''concrete and specific act'' (in Guzzardi v Italy). ...
- Instead, the powers in the Bill allow police officers to stop and search pedestrians and vehicles at random for articles which could be used in connection with terrorism; the search can take place ''whether or not the constable has grounds for suspecting the presence of articles of that kind''. ...
- Schedule 8 of the Terrorism Bill sets out the provisions concerning detention and the treatment of persons while in detention. ...
- The Terrorism Bill permits a delay of up to 48 hours before the detained person can gain access to a lawyer (compared to a maximum of 36 hours under ordinary legislation).
- Although not explicitly stated in the Bill, one assumes that in England and Wales, the provisions concerning detention under the Terrorism Bill will continue to be governed by the Codes of Practice attached to the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (in the same way that these Codes governed arrests under the PTA). ...
- * it is a criminal offence to possess an ''article'' in circumstances which give rise to a reasonable suspicion that its possession is for a purpose connected with an act of terrorism; if it is proved that the ''article'' was ''on any premises of which the accused was the occupier or which he habitually used otherwise than as a member of the public, the court may assume that the accused possessed the article, unless he proves that he did not know of its presence on the premises or that he had no control over it'';.

- The Terrorism Act 2000: Will it be used to restrict campaigning and civil rights?.
- A briefing on The Terrorism Act 2000 and its potential for threatening civil liberties.
- Written by Paul Mobbs for GreenNet's UK Civil Society Internet Rights Project, September, 2000.
- The definition of 'terrorism'.
- The Act and protest action.
- In every society terrorism can be a threat. Not only 'internal' terrorism, but groups organising terrorism in other states. Having legislation to police the threat to society terrorism represents is therefore justifiable.
- The problem that arises is how we define terrorism. ...
- A good example would be the fuel protests across Britain during September 2000. All those taking part in that action would have been classed as 'terrorists' under this Act — but were they? Likewise, roads protestors, campaigners against greenfield development and even those protesting against certain repressive regimes could also be classed as terrorists under this Act if those enforcing the law take a narrow view. ...
- This briefing on the Data Protection Act is one of a number of resources developed as part of the CSIR initiative.
- This is the concern with regards to The Terrorism Act 2000. The Government has quite rightly sort to update the law on terrorism since the recent political changes in Ireland. But at the same time they have widened the definition of terrorism to include areas that have traditionally been mechanisms of social change — for example protest that involves direct action. As you will see from the briefing that follows, the problem with this new act rests upon one word — 'OR'.

- Many states wanted to add "aggression", "terrorism" and drug trafficking to the list of crimes covered by the Rome Statute; however other states opposed this, on the grounds that these crimes were difficult to define, and that dealing with less serious crimes such as terrorism and drug trafficking would distract from the seriousness of the crimes the ICC was established to deal with. ...

- Supporters of the Court counter that under international law that states have the right to try foreign nationals for crimes committed on their territory; and if a state has the right to exercise jurisdiction in this case, that state can request an international organization to exercise that jurisdiction on its behalf by means of the treaty establishing that organization - traditionally in international law, international organizations are considered to be instruments through which their member states act. ...
- American Servicemembers Protection Act .
- Congress passed the American Servicemembers' Protection Act (ASPA), which contained a number of provisions, including prohibitions on the US providing military aid to countries which had ratified the treaty establishing the court; however, there were a number of exceptions to this, including NATO members, "major non-NATO allies" (such as Australia, Israel, the Republic of China (Taiwan) and a number of other countries), countries which made into an agreement with the United States not to hand over US nationals to the Court (see "Article 98" agreements below). ...
- co-operation with the Court, and permitting the President to authorize military force to free any US military personnel held by the court, leading opponents to dub it "The Hague Invasion Act. " The act was later modified to permit US cooperation with the ICC when dealing with US enemies. ...
- The resolution was made under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, which requires a "threat to international peace or security" for the Security Council to act; ICC supporters have argued that a US threat to veto peacekeeping operations does not constitute a threat to international peace or security. ...
69. The UK’s Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Bill
- www.politixgroup.com
- The UK’s Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Bill:.
- In the aftermath of September the 11th Tony Blair continues to stand ‘shoulder to shoulder’ with George Bush in the War against Terrorism. ...
- The result? The UK’s controversial Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Bill.
- Yet over the last thirty years, Britain’s terrorism laws have been responsible for countless miscarriages of justice. As the campaign group, Liberty points out, of 7,000 people detained under the Prevention of Terrorism Act, only a tiny number have ever been charged with anything remotely related to terrorist activities and the vast majority have been released without charge. ...
- Decisions on detention will be reviewed by the Special Immigration Appeals Tribunal, but this body can not be relied upon to act in a manner contrary to the interests of the Home Office. ...
- The Prevention of Terrorism Act was also brought in as a supposedly ‘temporary measure,’ but politicians were afraid of appearing ‘soft’ on terrorism. It remained in use for 24 years until it was eventually replaced with the Terrorism Act 2000.
- Again, it can be argued that the new law is unnecessary, after all, the current law already covers a wide range of offences relating to incitement of terrorism. ...
- Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith and Northern Ireland’s First Minister, David Trimble have both criticised the bill for making false distinctions between international terrorists like Bin Laden and domestic terrorism as carried out by Northern Irish paramilitaries. Pigeonholing terrorists in this way and the levying of different penalties on them appears to be a dangerous strategy, which risks legitimising certain types of terrorism. ...
- In spite of its size and complexity, the new Anti-Terrorism legislation is being rushed through Parliament at break-neck speed. ...
- Given its experience with terrorism, the UK already has a considerable and recently revised body of anti-terrorist laws. The most notable of these are the Immigration Act and the Terrorism Act 2000, under which a person can be tried for committing any act pertaining to the financing, preparing or actual carrying out of terrorist activities, both at home and overseas. It is thus highly debatable whether Britain really needs a new Anti-Terrorism bill at all. ...
