“…5 The key constitutional concern relates to whether binding Chapter Seven resolutions intrude on state sovereignty, as while states agreed to be bound by decisions of the UNSC when becoming a party to the UN Charter, "it could hardly have been intended" that the UNSC would hold such influence on states' treaty-making processes and the implementation of domestic CT legislation. 6 With respect to the definition of terrorism following 9/11, the UNSC has sidestepped the issue; no resolution has attempted to define it. Instead, the UNSC has strived to set international norms, pressing member states to implement domestic legal frameworks with offences that ensure that individuals or groups that finance, plan, prepare or perpetrate terrorist acts are brought to justice.…”

New Zealand is currently faced with the need to address extensive recommendations from the recently completed report of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the terrorist attack on the Christchurch masjidain on 15 March 2019 (RCOI). The RCOI was not tasked with reviewing New Zealand’s terrorism legislation, but it has commented among its recommendations on the need for relevant national security legislation that is fit-for-purpose and empowers and resources security services appropriately. This paper outlines New Zealand’s counter terrorism legislative chronology, exposing historic themes of slow law making, political disinterest and reactive and incomplete solutions. If New Zealand is to address the RCOI recommendations, it will need to break with previous approaches to legislating terrorism and boldly pursue a new more proactive narrative.

This article seeks to conceptualize global counter-terror actor types by examining the designated terrorist organisations lists of six countries; the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Russia and China. It is argued that these countries should be placed into one of three distinct categories: Trendsetters, Trend Followers and Individual Players. Being able to classify countries according to these categories is important for global policy makers. It raises awareness of the differences between countries, and emphasises that 'one-fits-all' policies are inappropriate and have little chance of achieving global endorsement.

There have been great developments in the fields of Neuroscience, which proved to be an immediate and powerful catalyst to understand how the nervous system works and also exerts influence upon neurolaw. By working on brain, neurolaw-scientists try to understand human behaviors. Government in terrorism, as an instance of the state of emergency, occasionally relies on neuroscience achievements through brain imaging of suspects for terrorist, to get access to their intentions, minds, background thoughts and last or possible future behaviors. Governments justified this neuroscientific technological measure, which causes deprivation from right to cognitive liberty, under the pretext of public security. On the basis of emergency theory, scholars argue that Government can deviate from its human rights obligations towards individuals in emergency, in order to bring about derogation from rights. In this paper main experimental neurological achievements have been investigated and their effects in law have been significantly analyzed. Drawing from human rights and emergency theory in the area of neurolaw, as a new born interdisciplinary study field, this paper sheds light of inquiry upon brain imaging as justified terrorism emergency measures.
