An Analytical Study into Anti-Terrorism Measures

Abstract

Terrorism poses one of the most important threats to national safety, constitutional governance, and human rights in today's world. In response, countries around the globe have implemented strict anti-terrorism actions aimed at avoiding, deterring, and punishing terrorist undertakings. However, these measures often create tensions between the need for national security and the defence of civil liberties. This article provides an analytical study of anti-terrorism measures, focusing specifically on the Indian legal framework while also considering broader international contexts. It critically examines the legislative responses, judicial oversight, enforcement mechanisms, and concerns regarding human rights, emphasizing the position of adopting a stable and rights-sensitive method to hostage-terrorism.
