Australia should push for urgent ICC investigation into 7 October crimes and also what is unfolding now in Gaza. Australia should reverse its historical position of opposing ICC investigations into Hamas and Israel. Australia should also set up its own war crimes unit which should include consideration of contemporaneous evidence. Sky News has been presenting unverified evidence regarding 7 October in opinion segments that are not subject to the same requirements regarding factual accuracy. #ICC #Australia

As west Africa urbanises, many cities have become interconnected through trade, travel and technology, and crime has increased in complexity and scope. The proliferation of arms in west African cities, especially in the aftermath of conflicts in Libya (2011) and Mali (2012), has added to these challenges in Bamako, Mali’s capital. In this article and my recent study, I analyse the complex relationships between urbanisation and arms trafficking in Bamako. The study focused on how illicit arms shape urban violence and are used by criminal groups.

The AGA-Africa Programme workshop on Combating Financing of Terrorism (CFT) and Combating Proliferations Financing (CPF) in Malawi entered its 3rd day with participants from various law enforcement agencies. During this training, we are affirming two things that are true to the AGA-Africa Programme: 1. The power of collaboration; and 2. Knowledge is power. #FightAgainstTerrorismFinancing

📢UN experts today expressed grave concern about the confirmation of the death sentences against seven individuals by Egypt’s highest court on 24 January 2024, in the so-called "Helwan Brigade” counter-terrorism case. Their executions would constitute arbitrary killings in violation of the right to life as a result of unfair trials and other human rights violations, they said. “Capital punishment may only be carried out after a legal process that guarantees all of the safeguards required by international human rights law,” the experts said. The experts said these cases allegedly involved grave violations of international law, including enforced disappearances and incommunicado detention, torture and forced confessions, denial of access to lawyers and family visits, protracted pre-trial detention, solitary confinement, inhuman detention conditions, and mass trials before special terrorism courts which did not meet fair trial standards. “Egypt has also failed to independently and effectively investigate and remedy these alleged violations as required by international and Egyptian law,” they said. The death sentences further violate international law because they are based on convictions for vague and overly broad terrorist offences, including when these may not meet the threshold of “most serious” crimes. There is also a real risk that executions in practice may constitute prohibited torture or cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. “We urge Egypt to halt these executions, to independently investigate the alleged human rights violations and review the judicial proceedings in light of Egypt’s international obligations,” the experts said. UN experts have previously called on Egypt to suspend executions following repeated allegations of unfair trials in terrorism cases. “We are profoundly concerned that these cases are not isolated but seem to be part of a systematic misuse of counter-terrorism and national security laws, including to impose the death penalty, which undermines human rights and the rule of law,” the experts said. The experts also urged Egypt to consider abolishing the death penalty, in light of the pro-abolitionist spirit of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the recommendations of the United Nations Human Rights Committee in 2023. Note: The seven individuals are Magdy Muhammed Ibrahim Ibrahim, Mahmoud Attia Ahmed Abdulghany, Abdulwahab Mostafa Muhammed Mostafa, Musab Abdulhamid Khalifa, Abdullah Nader Al-Sharqawy, Abdulrahman Issa Abdulkhaliq, and Mahmoud Al-Sayed Amin. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ekwGRWdu

The legal precedent outlined in the case of Ali Nawaz vs State elucidates the jurisdictional intricacies surrounding cases involving firing within court premises. According to Entry-4 of the Third Schedule of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997, offenses such as firing within court premises are exclusively triable by the Anti-Terrorism Court. Despite being a result of personal vendetta without attracting terrorism charges, such offenses fall within the purview of the Anti-Terrorism Court due to their specific mention in the Act. The transfer of cases from ordinary jurisdiction to the Anti-Terrorism Court hinges on distinct scenarios governed by different legal regimes. If a court of ordinary jurisdiction deems that the scheduled offense under the Anti-Terrorism Act is applicable, it must return the case to the prosecution for presentation before the Anti-Terrorism Court. This is in line with Section 190 of the Criminal Procedure Code (Cr.P.C.), which mandates magistrates to take cognizance only of offenses they are empowered to try or send to a court of sessions. Additionally, the Anti-Terrorism Court can directly take cognizance of offenses under Section 19(3) of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997. In cases pending trial, if a question of jurisdiction arises, the court cannot return the case to the prosecution due to the judicial record already in place. Instead, the proper course is to directly send the case from the court of ordinary jurisdiction to the Anti-Terrorism Court. Furthermore, if an offense is included in the third schedule of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997 during the pendency of a trial, the case must be immediately transferred to the Anti-Terrorism Court. This applies to cases pending before magistrates, sessions courts, or any other special courts. The Anti-Terrorism Court, despite its designation, retains the authority to determine jurisdiction and may transfer cases back to the court with jurisdiction, as per Section 23 of the Act. Section 346 of the Cr.P.C. empowers magistrates to transfer cases to the court of sessions if lacking jurisdiction. In summary, the legal framework mandates the transfer of cases involving firing within court premises to the Anti-Terrorism Court, with provisions for jurisdictional assessments and potential transfers back to courts with appropriate jurisdiction.
