Countering terrorism

Banning terrorists Proscription powers: Make specific terrorist groups illegal within a particular territory Criminalise support for and membership of proscribed groups Trigger further crimes, e.g. uniforms In the UK, the Home Secretary has the power to proscribe an organisation: ‘…if it commits or participates in acts of terrorism, prepares for, promotes or encourages terrorism or is otherwise concerned in terrorism’ Extended, in 2006, to include the glorification of terrorism

The UK in Context June 2017: Compares with: 71 international terrorist organisations listed in the UK 14 in Northern Ireland Nine groups added to the UK’s list since 2015 September 2017, Red Hand Commando – a Loyalist group – applies to be legalised Compares with: 60 groups on the US’ Foreign Terrorist Organizations List. 54 organisations listed in Canada 23 organisations listed in Australia Only 13 across all four

Security, democracy, identity Does banning terrorist groups make us more secure? Perhaps, although hard to measure Political and moral implications? Freedoms of speech, organisation Rights to resistance and opposition Identity?

Terrorists are We are Good _ Bad Irrational, extremist - ‘cowards [who] like to target civilians’ (Hopkins, 2011) ‘contorted and evil individuals’ (Mercer, 2013) ‘Free speech is a cornerstone of our democracy’ (Blunt, 2010) ‘We must ensure that we properly respect individual freedoms and liberties while providing collective security’ (Brokenshire, 2013) Irrational, extremist - Responsible , moderate ‘fundamentalist organisations are, by their nature, barking mad’, (Simpson, 2005) ‘the random slaughter of innocent individuals’ (Grieve, 2005) ‘we all know that the nature of terrorism has changed’ (Smith, 2013) ‘with the utmost seriousness and care’ (Blunkett, 2002) ‘only after the most thorough scrutiny of all the intelligence’ (Bassam, 2005) The problem The solution ‘a perpetual threat in this country’ (Ruffley, 2008) ‘We will be attacked again’ (Mercer 2005) ‘supporting the rest of the international community to tackle terrorism’ (Blears, 2005)
