/ / Print Publications [Hard Copy]
XXXXX Title:– The National Security Act of 1980: Time to end the abuses
About the book:– Since the early days of British colonial rule, India has lived under a series of draconian preventive detention laws. Currently, the National Security Act of 1980 (NSA) is the broadest and most widely abused of these laws. SAHRDC recognizes that India faces a number of external and domestic threats to its security and that narrowly tailored and ethically applied preventive detention laws can be effective ways to counter such threats.  However, preventive detention as it is used and abused under tha National Security Act violates a number of fundamental human rights norms provided under the Indian Constitution and international human rights law. SAHRDC examines the National Security Act, abuses under the Act and makes appropriate recommendations.

XXXXX Title:– Special Powers Act, 1974: Big Brother Exercises the Big Stick in Bangladesh
About the book:– The use of preventive detention laws in Bangladesh has a history longer than that of the Republic itself. From its inception, the Special Powers Act  has been used as a tool by military administrators and allegedly democratic leaders to silence political dissent. The preventive detention as it is used and abused under the Special Powers Act violates a number of fundamental human rights norms provided under the Bangladesh Constitution and International human rights law. This report examines the Special Powers Act, 1974, abuses under the Act and makes appropriate recommendations.

XXXXX Title:– Sri Lanka’s Emergency Law or State-Sponsored Terrorism
About the book:– The state-sponsored tyranny that has resulted from the current state of emergency in Sri Lanka is attributed to the country’s draconian anti-terrorist legislation. This report highlights pertinent provisions of Sri Lankan legislation, namely the Public Security Ordinance, the Prevention of Terrorism Act, and the Emergency Regulations, which have contributed to the horrendous decline of human rights. A legal analysis under domestic law and international human rights standard is presented at the end by providing examples of misuse of the Emergency Regulations in Sri Lanka.
