| Title | SUSPECTED TERRORISTS AND THE DUE PROCESS RIGHTS COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DETAINED SUSPECTS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND ISRAEL |
| Summary | The purpose of the present research is to analyse whetherSuspected detained terrorists have the right to enjoy the protection of minimum standards of due process rights as provided by national and international legal instruments in this era where combating terrorism has become the corner stone of every States national security concern. The thesis specifically underakes a comparative study of detained suspects due process rights: right to information, right to counsel and the use of hearsay evidence in the United kingdom and Israel under their terrorisim control legislations that allow administative detention.Therefore it shall look at the provided rights in light of the treatment accorded to them under administrative detention. With the complexities of terrorism and the right of States to protect their nationals and territories, application of and enjoyment of due process rights of those suspected have come under abuse and criticisms as a result of States propounding the impossibility of subjecting these suspects under the protection of those guarantees provided by the normal criminal systems.Thus, the thesis maintains that terrorist suspects like any other suspects have the right to benefit from due process rights and further, there is no need to introduce new systems with safegurads there with that infringe on their rights, for the old fashioned criminal system is sufficient enough to oversee the administration of justice for any typr of crime. The research upholds that the criminal justice system needs no alterations and even if the claim is otherwise for terrorist cases, the reccomendation advocated for is to maintain and respect the due process rights herein researched and other human rights of suspected terrorists. |
