The United Kingdom provides a useful model of the  effectiveness of counter-terrorism responses in that the same measures  were applied to both international and domestic terrorism with  differing results. The United Kingdom’s legal responses to the  challenge of terrorism constitutes a substantial and far ranging body  of executive and legislative acts, international treaties and  conventions, and court cases.    This book constitutes the first academic effort after the September  11, 2001 brutal attacks to study the UK’s legal experience and  provides lessons for other democracies combating terrorism at home and  abroad. Material included in the volume consists of a large body of  documents such as the Prime Minister’s statement concerning al-Qaida;  the Terrorism Act 2000; the Anti-Terrorism Crime and Security Act  2001; the Human Rights Act of 1998; the Treaty of Maastricht; and  numerous other court cases (e.g. the bombing of Pan Am 103). Important  cases reproduced include Al Magrahi, Kebeline, and Chahal.
