Action Against Terrorism

EDM number 107 in 2009-10, proposed by Tim Boswell on 19/11/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Human rights and Terrorism.

That this House, while neither tolerating nor condoning the commission of acts of terrorism at home or abroad, emphasises the need for maintaining commitments under the Human Rights Act and the underlying European Convention of Human Rights; welcomes the tone taken by the International Commission of Jurists in its recent report Assessing Damage, Urging Action; specifically commends their analysis that the basic Convention framework with derogations is adequate to maintain security, and that there are real dangers in creep from temporary measures towards permanency, and from the unhelpful concept of a war on terror; calls on the Government to limit actions to measures which are necessary and proportionate; further calls on the Government to avoid acts in breach of the Convention done by proxy, the use of immigration law as a substitute for criminal law, and the abuse of administrative listing processes; and further calls on the Government to take steps to ensure that the actions of intelligence agencies are fully compatible with human rights law and to initiate a process of stocktaking to identify and remedy breaches of human rights principles.

This motion has been signed by a total of 42 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
