3. UK: Legal Opinion on the Prevention of Terrorism Bill by Ben Emmerson
QC
(Matrix Chambers):
"I am asked to advise on the compatibility of the provisions of the new
Prevention of Terrorism Bill with the requirements of domestic and
international human rights law. For the reasons set out...it is my view
that the entire scheme established under the Bill as it stands is
incompatible with the United Kingdom's international obligations, and
would
be vulnerable to challenge in the courts."
