Background
We believe counter-terrorism powers should protect the public from real threats while respecting human rights, peaceful protest and freedom of expression. We call for stronger safeguards, published human rights assessments, and a legal requirement for ministers to seek and consider UN human rights expert advice before major counter-terrorism decisions are made.
