Human
Rights and Anti-Terrorism Legislation |
||
|
The two day seminar hosted by the London office of the Commonwealth Human Rights brought together representatives from the various countries of the Commonwealth, including the United Kingdom, Zimbabwe, India, Australia, Ghana Canada, and the Caribbean. The audience and participants included parliamentarians, lawyers, human rights activists, and members of civil society. Armed with a brief of anti terror laws implemented across the Commonwealth, they were charged with the task of examining the limits and threats that these laws presented to the community. The seminar offered the opportunity for a wide range of contributions to developing an understanding of how anti terror laws have been implemented and received across the Commonwealth, as well as highlighted the challenges and justifications for such legislation. Read the report of the seminar. Some of the papers presented at the seminar are now available:
