The Importance of Anti-Terrorism Law on National Security of India

Abstract

With terrorism on the rise, financial measures to prevent and punish terrorist acts are becoming increasingly crucial. Subsequently, terrorism is a violent and illegal method of achieving a goal that affects almost every aspect of human life. As a result, legislation dealing specifically with terrorist acts must consider the possibility that they were planned or funded from outside India. When a government faces a terrorist threat, it will take whatever measures it deems necessary to counter that threat. Whereas these measures will almost certainly include infringing on the fundamental rights of citizens.Although, terrorist attacks on poor democracies with territorial conflicts are common. But domestic terrorism may not have a significant impact on fundamental rights. Along with human rights and the rule of law must be the cornerstones of the global fight against terrorism. Thus, this necessitates the development of national counter-terrorism strategies aimed at preventing terrorist acts. Overall terrorist groups target India more frequently because they know liberal countries usually give in to their demands.Another point to consider is that the main anti-terror law lacks sufficient and inadequate provisions to address the issue of cross-border terrorism. It also needs to be strengthened to allow India to effectively combat the cyber aspect of terrorism. To summarize Anti-terrorism measures should protect democracy, rule of law, and fundamental rights.
