ICCPR Recommendations 2024, paragraph 29

Bearing in mind the Committee’s previous recommendations, the State party should review its counter-terrorism legislation to ensure that it is in compliance with the Covenant and the principles of legality, certainty, predictability and proportionality, in particular with regard to the definition of terrorism and the maximum period of pre-charge detention in terrorism cases. It should provide effective safeguards, including judicial oversight, for any limitations on human rights imposed for the purposes of national security and ensure that such limitations serve legitimate aims and are necessary and proportionate, in line with the Covenant. It should also ensure that persons suspected of or charged with terrorist acts or related crimes are provided, in law and in practice, with all legal safeguards, in accordance with the Covenant.
