The methods used by the United Nations and the European Union for blacklisting terrorism suspects are “totally arbitrary” and “violate the fundamental principles of human rights and rule of law,” a European human rights panel said Monday.<\/p>\n

The Council of Europe’s legal committee urged an overhaul of international regulations so that individuals and groups being blacklisted – which imposes a freeze on assets and a ban on traveling – would have access to evidence against them, rights to a fair trial or impartial review within a reasonable time and compensation for wrongful designation as a terrorist.<\/p>\n

“The fight against terrorism is a need that nobody can put into question,” said the panel, which is part of the 47-nation council, Europe’s leading human rights watchdog organization. “But we consider it unacceptable to forego, in the name of this fight, the fundamental principles of a democratic society.”<\/p>\n

In a draft resolution to be considered by another council body, the committee said: “If one adds to this picture the practice of abductions (‘extraordinary renditions’), of secret detention centers and the trivialisation of torture, this provides a worrying, devastating message: Principles that are as fundamental as the rule of law and the protection of human rights are optional accessories applicable only in fair weather.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
