Anti Terrorism Law And Normalising Northern Ireland

by Jessie Blackbourn, Anti Terrorism Law And Normalising Northern Ireland Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Anti Terrorism Law And Normalising Northern Ireland books, The Northern Ireland peace process has been heralded by those involved as a successful example of transformation from a violent conflict to a peaceful society. This book examines the implementation of the Belfast Agreement in Northern Ireland, and evaluates whether its goal to establish a normal, peaceful society has been fully realised. Using the political and legal status of England, Scotland and Wales as a comparison, Jessie Blackbourn evaluates eight aspects of Northern Ireland which the Agreement aimed to normalise: the contested constitutional status of Northern Ireland, the devolution of power, decommissioning, the removal of emergency laws, demilitarisation, police reform, criminal justice reform, and paramilitary prisoners. The book highlights the historical context which gave rise to the need for a programme of normalisation within the Belfast Agreement with respect to these areas and assesses the extent to which that programme of normalisation has been successfully implemented. By evaluating the implementation of the Belfast Agreement, the book demonstrates the difficulties that transitional or post-conflict states face in attempting to wind back extraordinary counter-terrorism policies after periods of violence have been brought to an end. The book will be of great use to students and researchers concerned with the emergence, evolution and repeal of anti-terrorism laws, and anyone interested in the history of the conflict and peace process in Northern Ireland.

The Proscription Of Terrorist Organisations

by Lee Jarvis, The Proscription Of Terrorist Organisations Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download The Proscription Of Terrorist Organisations books, Powers to outlaw or proscribe terrorist organisations have become cornerstones of global counter-terrorism regimes. In this comprehensive volume, an international group of leading scholars reflect on the array of proscription regimes found around the world, using a range of methodological, theoretical and disciplinary perspectives from Political Science, International Relations, Law, Sociology and Criminology. These perspectives consider how domestic political and legal institutions intersect with and transform the use of proscription in countering terrorism and beyond. The chapters advance a range of critical perspectives on proscription laws, processes and outcomes, drawing from a global range of cases including Australia, Canada, the EU, Spain, Sri Lanka, Turkey, the UK and the USA. Using single and comparative cases, the authors emphasise the impacts of proscription on freedoms of speech and association, dissent, political action and reconciliation. The chapters demonstrate the manifold consequences for diasporas and minorities, especially those communities linked to struggles overseas against oppressive regimes, and stress the significance of language and other symbolic practices in the justification and extension of proscription powers. The volume concludes with an in-depth interview on the blacklisting of terror groups with the former U.S. Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Terrorism and Political Violence.

Nordirland Zwischen Krieg Und Frieden

by Liam Ó Ruairc, Nordirland Zwischen Krieg Und Frieden Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Nordirland Zwischen Krieg Und Frieden books, Die Nordirland-Frage war der größte Stolperstein während der Brexit-Verhandlungen. Mit dem im Jahr 1998 unterzeichneten Karfreitagsabkommen wurden die Grenzposten zwischen der Republik Irland und Nordirland geräumt, nach dem Brexit könnten sie wieder aufgestellt werden. Das Abkommen beendete offiziell den 30-jährigen Bürgerkrieg, der über 3500 Menschen das Leben kostete. Dass die Gründe für ein Wiedererstarken radikaler Kräfte, sowohl auf irisch-republikanischer als auch auf pro-britischer Seite, nicht im Brexit, sondern im Scheitern des Friedensvertrags liegen, erläutert der Belfaster Autor Ó Ruairc in seinem neuen Buch. Für ihn hat die "Befriedung" durch das Karfreitagsabkommen die grundlegenden Probleme der Region nicht gelöst. Es blieb bei der sektiererischen Teilung zwischen Protestanten und Katholiken und der Festschreibung einer Provinz Nordirland als Symbol des Machterhalts des Vereinigten Königreiches. Die Präsenz der britischen Armee zeigt dies deutlich. Dazu kommt eine katastrophale wirtschaftliche und soziale Lage. Ó Ruairc führt durch die Geschichte der Region und beginnt mit der Teilung der Insel im Jahr 1920. Gegen die Benachteiligung der katholischen Minderheit bildete sich Ende der 1960er-Jahre eine Bürgerrechtsbewegung, deren blutige Niederschlagung zum bewaffneten Kampf der IRA auf der einen Seite und der britischen Armee und den loyalistischen Paramilitärs auf der anderen Seite führte. Mit der Niederlage der IRA wurde der irisch-republikanische Kampf umgedeutet, weg vom Ziel einer vereinten sozialistischen Republik hin zum Bemühen um eine politische Teilhabe. Die Trennungen vor Ort blieben aufrecht bzw. verstärkten sich sogar. Während zur Zeit des Abkommens 22 Mauern protestantische und katholische Viertel voneinander trennten, stehen mittlerweile 88 dieser "Friedenslinien" sinnbildlich für die Spaltung der Gesellschaft. Die einstige Industriegegend ist heute einer der ärmsten Teile Europas, die Jugendarbeitslosigkeit explodiert. Nordirland ist auf dem Weg, eine gescheiterte Region zu werden.

Secrecy Law And Society

by Greg Martin, Secrecy Law And Society Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Secrecy Law And Society books, Commentators have shown how a ‘culture of security’ ushered in after the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 has involved exceptional legal measures and increased recourse to secrecy on the basis of protecting public safety and safeguarding national security. In this context, scholars have largely been preoccupied with the ways that increased security impinges upon civil liberties. While secrecy is justified on public interest grounds, there remains a tension between the need for secrecy and calls for openness, transparency and disclosure. In law, secrecy has implications for the separation of powers, due process, and the rule of law, raising fundamental concerns about open justice, procedural fairness and human rights. Beyond the counterterrorism and legal context, scholarly interest in secrecy has been concerned with the credibility of public and private institutions, as well as the legacies of secrecy across a range of institutional and cultural settings. By exploring the intersections between secrecy, law and society, this volume is a timely and critical intervention in secrecy debates traversing various fields of legal and social inquiry. It will be a useful resource for academic researchers, university teachers and students, as well as law practitioners and policymakers interested in the legal and socio-legal dimensions of secrecy.

To Serve The Enemy

by Shane Darcy, To Serve The Enemy Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download To Serve The Enemy books, A constant yet oftentimes concealed practice in war has been the use of informers and collaborators by parties to an armed conflict. Despite the prevalence of such activity, and the serious and at times fatal consequences that befall those who collaborate with an enemy, international law applicable in times of armed conflict does not squarely address the phenomenon. The recruitment, use and treatment of informers and other collaborators is addressed only partially and at times indirectly by international humanitarian law. In this book, Shane Darcy examines the development and application of the relevant rules and principles of the laws of armed conflict in relation to collaboration. With a primary focus on international humanitarian law as may be applicable to various forms of collaboration, the book also offers an assessment of the relevance of human rights and considers how the phenomenon of collaboration has been addressed post-conflict.

Digital Privacy Terrorism And Law Enforcement

by Simon Hale-Ross, Digital Privacy Terrorism And Law Enforcement Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Digital Privacy Terrorism And Law Enforcement books, This book examines the UK’s response to terrorist communication. Its principle question asks, has individual privacy and collective security been successfully managed and balanced? The author begins by assessing several technologically-based problems facing British law enforcement agencies, including use of the Internet; the existence of ‘darknet’; untraceable Internet telephone calls and messages; smart encrypted device direct messaging applications; and commercially available encryption software. These problems are then related to the traceability and typecasting of potential terrorists, showing that law enforcement agencies are searching for needles in the ever-expanding haystacks. To this end, the book examines the bulk powers of digital surveillance introduced by the Investigatory Powers Act 2016. The book then moves on to assess whether these new powers and the new legislative safeguards introduced are compatible with international human rights standards. The author creates a ‘digital rights criterion’ from which to challenge the bulk surveillance powers against human rights norms. Lord Carlile of Berriew CBE QC in recommending this book notes this particular legal advancement, commenting that rightly so the author concludes the UK has fairly balanced individual privacy with collective security. The book further analyses the potential impact on intelligence exchange between the EU and the UK, following Brexit. Using the US as a case study, the book shows that UK laws must remain within the ambit of EU law and the Court of Justice of the European Union's (CJEU's) jurisprudence, to maintain the effectiveness of the exchange. It addresses the topics with regard to terrorism and counterterrorism methods and will be of interest to researchers, academics, professionals, and students researching counterterrorism and digital electronic communications, international human rights, data protection, and international intelligence exchange.

Homeland Security Its Law And Its State

by Christos Boukalas, Homeland Security Its Law And Its State Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Homeland Security Its Law And Its State books, This book assesses the impact of post-9/11 domestic counterterrorism policy on US political life. It examines political discourse, law, institutional architecture, and state-population relations, and shows that ‘homeland security’ is a project with wide-ranging implications for democratic institutions and culture. These implications are addressed through a novel approach that treats law and the state as social relations, and relates developments in law to those in the state and in social dynamics. On this basis, the book examines the new political representations in counterterrorism discourse, especially regarding the relation between the state and the population. It examines the form and content of counterterrorism law, the powers it provides, and the structure and functions it prescribes for the state. By focusing on the new Department of Homeland Security and the restructuring of the intelligence apparatus, the book assesses the new, intelligence-led, policing model. Finally, it examines forms of popular support and resistance to homeland security, to discuss citizenship and state-population relations. The author concludes that homeland security has turned the US into a hybrid polity; the legal and political institutions of democracy remain intact, but their content and practices become authoritarian and exclude the population from politics. These legal and political forms remain operative beyond counterterrorism, in the context of the present economic crisis. They are a permanent configuration of power. This book is an indispensable companion for students of (counter-) Terrorism and Security Studies, Politics, Human Rights, Constitutional and Criminal Law, American Studies, and Criminology.

The Impact Legitimacy And Effectiveness Of Eu Counter Terrorism

by Fiona de Londras, The Impact Legitimacy And Effectiveness Of Eu Counter Terrorism Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download The Impact Legitimacy And Effectiveness Of Eu Counter Terrorism books, Counter-terrorism law and policy has been prominent and widespread in the years following 9/11, touching on many areas of everyday life from policing and border control to financial transactions and internet governance. The European Union is a major actor in contemporary counter-terrorism, including through its development of counter-terrorism laws for application within the Union. This book undertakes a multi-disciplinary and empirically informed analysis of the impact, legitimacy and effectiveness of EU counter-terrorism. Taking into account legal, societal, operational and democratic perspectives, this collection connects theoretical and practical perspectives to produce an interdisciplinary and multi-stakeholder study of how we might measure and understand the impact, legitimacy and effectiveness of EU counter-terrorism. Bringing together a select group of experts in the field, particular emphasis is placed on understanding the practical experience of implementing and assessing these measures gathered from and with end users, including law-makers, policy-makers, security services, industry partners and civil society. This edited collection will be of great relevance to scholars and policy makers with an interest in counter-terrorism law, EU law and security studies.

Accountability And Review In The Counter Terrorist State

by Blackbourn, Jessie, Accountability And Review In The Counter Terrorist State Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Accountability And Review In The Counter Terrorist State books, 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.
