Australian Lawyers for Human Rights made a submission to the International Commission of Jurists’ Eminent Jurists’ Panel on Terrorism, Counter-Terrorism and Human Rights. ALHR’s submission covered the new Federal regime, including preventative detention orders, control orders, detention for questioning by ASIO, sedition laws and proscription of terrorist organisations, and how each aspect may be in breach of international human rights law.
