Terrorist Crime Legislation Motion
Shown with amendment 'None' (e802328)
(Showing state at moment e802358)The Forum recognizes that the Government have recently — October 1996 — received the Lloyd Report 'An Inquiry into Legislation against Terrorism', which considered the legislative framework under which the justice system operates in the United States of America and various European countries. This Forum now calls on the Government to carry out a complementary inquiry into international examples of political policies necessary to deal with violence and political change in divided societies. In particular, we call upon the Government to study the examples of Guatemala, South Africa, Israel/Palestine and Spain and to apply the lessons learned to the United Kingdom's internal political and security policies.
