Report of the Independent Commission on UK Counter-Terrorism Law, Policy and Practice

About The Bingham Centre For The Rule Of LawThe Bingham Centre is an independent, non-partisan organisation that exists to advance the Rule of Law worldwide.Established in 2010 as part of the British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL), the Centre was brought into being to pursue Tom Bingham's inspiring vision: a world in which every society is governed by the Rule of Law "in the interests of good government and peace at home and in the world at large."The Rt Hon Lord Bingham of Cornhill KG was the pre-eminent UK judge of his generation, who crowned his judicial career by leaving us arguably the best account of what the Rule of Law means in practice and why it is so important in any civilised society -too important to remain the exclusive preserve of courts and lawyers. We carry out independent, rigorous and high-quality research and analysis of the most significant Rule of Law issues of the day, both in the UK and internationally, including highlighting threats to the Rule of Law. We make strategic, impartial contributions to policy-making, law-making or decision-making in order to defend and advance the Rule of Law, making practical recommendations and proposals based on our research. We hold events such as lectures, conferences, roundtables, seminars and webinars, to stimulate, inform and shape debate about the Rule of Law as a practical concept amongst lawmakers, policymakers, decisionmakers and the wider public. We build Rule of Law capacity in a variety of ways, including by providing training, guidance, expert technical assistance, and cultivating Rule of Law leadership. We contribute to the building and sustaining of a Rule of Law community, both in the UK and internationally.www.binghamcentre.biicl.org
