First report on the operation of the Terrorist Asset-Freezing etc. Act 2010 by David Anderson,Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation Pdf

The Act under review gives the Treasury power to freeze the assets of individuals and groups thought to be involved in terrorism, whether in the UK or abroad, and to deprive them of access to financial resources. It implements UN Security Council Resolution 1373 and is one of a number of measures at the Government's disposal for preventing the financing of terrorism. At the end of the review period in September 2011: 30 individuals and 8 groups were designated by the Treasury under the Act. This is much reduced from the figure in previous years, owing largely to the removal of duplicate designations. Each of the designated groups had been listed since 2001, as had some of the designated individuals. No individual or group was designated during the review period. No individual or group associated with Northern Ireland was designated, despite continuing terrorist activity there. The prohibitions in the Act applied also to 22 individuals and 25 groups listed by the EU under Regulation 2580/2001. The total quantity of assets frozen, taking the Treasury and EU lists together, was some £100,000. Many of those designated had few if any assets in the United Kingdom. These and other facts make TAFA 2010 is an ancillary rather than a central part of the fight against terrorism. A number of conclusions and recommendations are set out in sections 10 and 11

Terrorist Asset-Freezing (Temporary Provisions) Act 2010 by Great Britain Pdf

The Treasury had implemented Resolution 1373 (2001) adopted by the Security Council of the United Nations on 28 September 2001 relating to terrorism and resolution 1452 (2002) adopted on 20 December 2002 relating to humanitarian exemptions, by means of a number of Orders in Council (the UN Terrorism Orders). Resolution 1373 includes a requirement that member states must (a) prevent the financing of terrorist acts, including the freezing of funds and economic resources of persons who commit or attempt to commit, terrorist acts or participate in or facilitate such acts, and (b) prohibit their nationals and those within their territories from making funds, financial services or economic resources available to such persons. Resolution 1452 introduces exemptions to permit payments necessary to meet basic humanitarian needs (such as payments for foodstuffs, rent or mortgage, medicines and medical treatment, taxes, insurance premiums, public utility charges and legal fees and expenses). In January 2010 the Supreme Court judged one of the Orders in Council to be invalid. The purpose of this Act is to provide for the temporary validity of the UN Terrorism Orders in order to maintain asset-freezing restrictions whilst the Government takes steps to put in place by means of primary legislation an asset-freezing regime to comply with the obligations in resolution 1373. The Government's draft Bill was published as Command paper Cm. 7806 (9780101780629).

Developments in Counter-Terrorist Measures and Uses of Technology by Helen Fenwick Pdf

This book considers some of the most notable aspects of the legal response to the "war on terror" post- 9/11 and the use of technology to support them. It examines the shift from a criminal justice response to the creation of a parallel preventive system running in tandem with it. This system has tended to veer away from the commission of criminal offences or adherence to ordinary criminal justice safeguards. Such a preventive strategy relies on targeting terrorist suspects – those who it is thought may in future commit terrorist acts – and curbing their actions with the aim of preventing terrorist activity before it occurs. The book further considers the role that surveillance plays in the counter-terrorist efforts of state or non-state actors. It also evaluates the counter-productive effects that many of these measures have had. This book was originally published as a special issue of International Review of Law Computers & Technology.
