Mary O'Rawe

Abstract Intelligence led policing is in the ascendancy on a global level. This poses serious and often delegitimated questions around law’s ability to prevent and sanction wrongdoing by state security agents. The ramifications of law’s failures are particularly felt in conflicted and post conflict societies. This paper, through the prism of the Northern Ireland experience, problematises the more global sanitation and reification of ‘covert intelligence’ approaches and their potential to contribute to insecurity rather than security.

In it, I examine the origins of the statute, the manner in which it can be used to prosecute persons suspected of being potential terrorists, and an array of constitutional and security-based objections to the law. The article concludes with suggestions for reform.
