Terrorism raises genuine security concerns that the state attempts
to address through various measures. The use of counter-terrorism
legislation is one such means, employed especially by democracies.
The basic rationale is that the legal framework deals with
terrorism, which is considered undemocratic, in a democratic way.
In other words, legislation ought to adequately deter terrorist
groups, but at the same time, prevail on the State from encroaching
on human rights of the innocents. The key questions addressed in
this study are: Do counter-terrorism laws enhance security? If so,
in what manner? If not, why and what are the problems involved? The
study assumes that there is an inherent tension between State
security and the security of its subjects. Measures like
counter-terror legislation imposed for safeguarding State security
end up eroding the basic rights of the individuals and ultimately
threatening the comprehensive security of the State. Comparative
analyses of linkage between counter-terror laws and security in
India and Sri Lanka -- two important cases of 'developing
democracies' that witnessed terrorism and political violence --
throw many interesting findings. Jointly undertaken by two leading
scholars of India and Sri Lanka, the study intends to fill the gap
in the existing literature on legal aspects of terrorism &
counter-terrorism. Published in association with Regional Centre
for Strategic Studies, Colombo.
