Gray on "Internment of Terrorism Suspects: Human Rights and Constitutional Issues"
Professor Anthony Gray of the USQ School of Law and Justice has recently published an article titled Internment of Terrorism Suspects: Human Rights and Constitutional Issues in the Australian Journal of Human Rights (Vol 24, No. 3). Here is the abstract:
"There have been recent calls for the parliament to re-introduce a system of internment of those suspected of future terrorist activity. Preventive detention regimes have a long history within the common law, and to some extent our laws still contain preventive detention aspects. International legal materials would arguably generally prohibit such regimes; however, they also contain exceptions permitting governments to derogate from fundamental human rights in times of emergency or war. This article considers whether, if the Australian Parliament were to implement such a scheme, it would be constitutionally valid. This involves determining whether the Commonwealth’s defence power would support such a law, and the nature of the power to preventively detain an individual. Could such a power be exercised by a government minister, or would it need to be exercised, if at all, by a court?"
