  • Protecting the Right to a Fair Trial in the 21St Century – Has Trial by Jury Been Caught in the World Wide Web? Roxanne Burd and Jacqueline Horan*
    Protecting the right to a fair trial in the 21st century – has trial by jury been caught in the world wide web? Roxanne Burd and Jacqueline Horan* The growing availability of information is challenging the right to a fair trial in the 21st century. For decades courts have maintained the integrity and impartiality of the jury by shielding jurors from pre-trial publicity. However, as the traditional forms of media have expanded into the world wide web, it has become increasingly difficult to control both the dissemination of information and the conduct of jurors. This article explores the level of prejudicial impact of publicity on high profile trials. Remedies to alleviate such an impact are discussed. INTRODUCTION In 2010, an order was made to suppress the identity of an 18-year-old South Australian man being investigated for the murder of three of his family members. However, a Facebook site dedicated to the memory of the victims had been used to identify and abuse the alleged murderer.1 Not only did this publication hinder the police investigation but there is a risk that the right of the defendant to a fair trial will be compromised. There is nothing preventing jurors from downloading Facebook pages, online news, blogs, and videos on YouTube, using their mobile internet service. In an era of digital communication, the question must be asked: can, and if so how, should the right to a fair trial be maintained in high profile criminal matters? This article argues that the increasing proliferation of prejudicial publicity justifies a shift away from the Australian strategy of prevention and towards reforming the jury trial.

  • Interview with Max Hill, QC, Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation for the United Kingdom by Sam Mullins1
    PERSPECTIVES ON TERRORISM Volume 12, Issue 2 Policy Brief Interview with Max Hill, QC, Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation for the United Kingdom by Sam Mullins1 Abstract The following text is a transcript of an interview between the author and the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation (IRTL) for the United Kingdom, Max Hill, QC, which took place on March 9, 2018 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. Topics discussed included the role of the IRTL, prosecution of terrorism in the UK, returning foreign fighters, terrorism prevention and investigation measures (TPIMs), deportation of terrorism suspects, the involvement of children in terrorism, hate-preachers, and the British government’s efforts to counter non-violent extremism. The transcript has been edited for brevity. Keywords: terrorism, counter-terrorism, prosecution, security, human rights, civil liberties, United Kingdom. Introduction Security versus civil liberties. How to safeguard the population from the actions of terrorists, while at the same time preserving fundamental rights such as freedom of speech, movement and association? This is the age-old debate that lies at the heart of counter-terrorism (CT) in liberal democracies. The precise balance varies from country to country and across time but in the aftermath of attacks it is particularly likely to tip in favour of security, sometimes at the expense of certain liberties. The UK is no stranger to terrorism, but - similar to many other countries around the world - it has been on a heightened state of alert since 2014 when ISIS declared its caliphate, and last year the UK was rocked by a string of successful attacks, resulting in 36 fatalities [1].

  • Anti-Terrorism Control Orders in Australia and the United Kingdom: a Comparison
    Parliament of Australia Department of Parliamentary Services Parliamentary Library Information, analysis and advice for the Parliament RESEARCH PAPER www.aph.gov.au/library 29 April 2008, no. 28, 2007–08, ISSN 1834-9854 Anti-terrorism control orders in Australia and the United Kingdom: a comparison Bronwen Jaggers Law and Bills Digests Section Executive summary • Control orders have been part of Australian anti-terrorism legislation since December 2005. A control order is issued by a court (at the request of the Australian Federal Police) to allow obligations, prohibitions and restrictions to be imposed on a person, for the purpose of protecting the public from a terrorist act. The types of obligations, prohibitions and restrictions may include a curfew at a particular address, wearing of an electronic monitoring tag, restrictions on use of telecommunications, regular reporting to police, and a range of other measures. Two control orders have been issued in Australia to date, those applying to Jack Thomas and David Hicks. • Australia’s control order scheme is in part based upon the United Kingdom model, however there are significant differences. • Criticisms of the Australian control order regime include concerns about the ex-parte nature of court hearings for interim control orders, reporting and accountability mechanisms, and questions surrounding whether the restrictions which may be imposed by control orders are sufficiently balanced with human rights protections.
