Draft European Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism Is Opened For Public Comment
By Victor Comras
The Council of Europe's Intra-governmental Committee of Experts on Terrorism agreed, at its meeting in Strasbourg February 7 - 11, 2005 to open the new draft European Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism for public comment. The text of the draft convention can now be seen at this link. Comments can also be submitted by the public via the following email address: gmt@coe.int . The draft Convention would engage its European States-parties in a broad range of commitments to treat the antecedents of terrorism, beef up their domestic measures to combat terrorism, further criminalize terrorism related actions, and broaden intra-European and international cooperation and information sharing in combating terrorism. The text may serve as a model for other regional and international agreements.
