Although both Canada and the United Kingdom had experienced
terrorism prior to the attacks of 9/11 and already had in place
extensive provisions to deal with terrorism, the events of that day
led to the enactment of new and expansive counter-terrorism
legislation being enacted in both jurisdictions. This book explores
these changes to counter-terrorism laws and policies in the UK and
Canada in order to demonstrate that despite the force of
international legal instruments, including the heavily scrutinized
UN Security Council Resolution 1373, the evolution of
counter-terrorism policies in different jurisdictions is best
analyzed and understood as a product of local institutional
structures and cultures. The book compares legal and political
structures and cultures within Canada and the United Kingdom. It
analyses variations in the evolution post-9/11 counter-terrorism
measures in the two jurisdictions and explores the domestic reasons
for them. While focus is primarily geared towards security
certificates and bail with recognizance/investigative hearings in
Canada, and detention without trial, control orders and TPIMs in
the UK, the use of secret evidence in the wider national security
context (terrorist listing, civil litigation, criminal
prosecutions, etc.) is also discussed. The book reveals how
domestic structures and cultures, including the legal system, the
relative stability of government, local human rights culture, and
geopolitical relationships all influence how counter-terrorism
measures evolve. In this sense, the book utilizes a methodology
that is both comparative and interdisciplinary by engaging in
legal, political, historical and cultural analyses. This book will
be particularly useful for target audiences in the fields of
comparative law and criminal justice, counter-terrorism law, human
rights law, and international relations and politics.
