Extremism, Free Speech and Counter-Terrorism Law and Policy
This edited collection addresses a number offree speech vs security concerns that are engaged by counter-terrorism lawand policy makersacross a number of liberal democracies, and explores the delicate balance between free speech and the censoring of views thatpromote hatred or clash with fundamental democratic values. It does this by looking at the perspectives and level of disagreement between those who consider today's counter-terrorism and ext…
Protocol 15 and Articles 10 and 11 Echr—the Partial Triumph of Political Incumbency Post-Brighton
Protocol 15 inserts a new recital into the Preamble of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) which affirms the primacy of national authorities in securing the effective realization of Convention rights. The article discusses the context for Protocol 15, notably the Brighton Declaration, and the democratic principles it engages. A selective retreat from substantive supranational review towards systemic supranational review in political ex…
Protecting Free Speech and Academic Freedom in Universities
Restrictions on speaking events in universities have been created both by recent student‐led efforts at ‘no‐platforming’ and by Part 5 of the Counter‐terrorism and Security Act 2015 which placed aspects of the government's Prevent strategy on a statutory basis. The statutory Prevent duty in universities includes, under the accompanying Guidance, curbing or monitoring events that could have an impact in drawing persons into terrorism. This article…
Contested Words
In modern liberal democracies, rights-based judicial intervention in the policy choices of elected bodies has always been controversial. For some, such judicial intervention has trivialized and impoverished democratic politics. For others judges have contributed to a dynamic and healthy dialogue between the different spheres of the constitution, removed from pressures imposed on elected representatives to respond to popular sentiment. This book p…

The "War on Terror" on Campus
The "War on Terror" on Campus:Some Free Speech Issues around Anti-Radicalization Law and Policy in the United Kingdom Ian Cram Introduction The suggestion that universities in the United Kingdom might provide useful environments for nurturing a younger generation of violent Islamists has gained credibility in recent times. Consider the case of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who was arrested on Christmas Day 2009 for allegedly attempting to detonate a…
Coercing Communities or Promoting Civilised Discourse? Funeral Protests and Comparative Hate Speech Jurisprudence
Extreme speech forms pose acute questions for liberal democracies. Abstract, non-absolute constitutional commitments to freedom of speech/expression are required to be interpreted against countervailing values such as equality, privacy and social harmony. On this side of the Atlantic, the rich body of First Amendment analysis generated by the US jurists is frequently dismissed as an outlier among the group. The emphasis there upon individual free…
Beyond Lockean Majoritarianism?--Emergency, Institutional Failure and the UK Constitution
The reluctance of the UK judiciary to query executive declarations of emergency is well established. The ‘inherently political’ nature of this type of decision-making has long been thought by public lawyers to be beyond the ambit of legitimate judicial oversight. In the first part of this article, I suggest that one plausible way of understanding this strand of public law scholarship is to situate it within a Lockean understanding of emergencies …
Regulating the Media
In the wake of the first ever Al Qaeda-inspired bombings in Britain in July 2005, there has been much discussion about the appropriate form(s) of counter-terrorism response. This article focuses on one aspect of the “war on terror” usually afforded less prominence than other counter-terrorist measures; namely a range of existing and proposed constraints on media freedom and the constitutional/human rights issues provoked. The United Kingdom is th…
Towards a Better Public Law
In the UK Constitution, the major weapon of judicial control over the exercise of governmental power is provided by the action for judicial review. This action serves to keep public bodies within the scope of the powers conferred on them by law. Prior to the present Law Commission inquiry into procedural aspects of judicial review, the matter was last examined in 1977 since when there have been significant changes in the ways in which governmenta…
