Measures to Combat Terrorism
Legislation to protect the public against terrorism has given the authorities certain exceptional powers for dealing with and preventing terrorist activities, while taking account of the need to achieve a proper balance between the safety of the public and the rights of the individual. While acknowledging that the special powers make inroads into civil liberties, the Government believes that they should continue in force as long as a substantial terrorist threat remains. Nobody can be imprisoned for political beliefs; all prisoners, except those awaiting trial, have been found guilty in court of criminal offences.
Parliamentary Acts give the security forces special powers to search, question and arrest suspected terrorists; allow the Secretary of State to proscribe terrorist organisations; and provide for certain serious offences to be tried by a judge sitting alone without a jury to obviate the dangers of intimidation of jurors. The other Act makes provision for statutory time limits to be imposed on the time an accused person may be held in custody awaiting trial although these powers so far have not been invoked. The maximum period for which the police can hold a suspected terrorist on their own authority has been reduced from 72 to 48 hours. Statements obtained by the use or threat of violence are inadmissible in court.
The Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1984 (first introduced in 1974), which is applicable throughout the United Kingdom, provides for the exclusion from Great Britain, Northern Ireland or the United Kingdom of people connected with terrorism related to Northern Ireland affairs and for the proscription of terrorist organisations in Great Britain. It also gives the police powers to arrest people suspected of being involved in terrorism (whether international or relating to Northern Ireland) without warrant and hold them for 48 hours and, with the approval of the Secretary of State, for up to a further five days.
Both Acts are reviewed annually by an independent person reporting to the Government. The Emergency Provisions Acts are renewable each year by Parliament. The Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act expired in 1989 and the Government is proposing that its replacement should have no limit on its time-span but should continue to be reviewed annually by Parliament.
Britain attaches importance to international action to combat terrorism and plays an active part in the work of a group of European Community ministers (known as 'Trevi') which facilitates the confidential exchange of information and intelligence about terrorism affecting member countries. Britain believes that there should be no concessions to terrorist demands and that international co-operation should take place on tracking down and arresting terrorists and on impeding the movement of international terrorists from one country to another.
