Abstract:
This paper analyses the development of anti-terror legislation related to the incitement of terrorism by comparing the Security Council Resolution 1624 and the Terrorism Act 2006 of the United Kingdom. Of particular interest is the question of how the British government used the Resolution for their domestic anti-terror agenda. After describing drafting, adoption and implementation of Resolution 1624, the paper examines the legislative process of the Terrorism Act 2006. Afterwards, the paper deals with the question of whether Chapter VII resolutions of the Security Council of the United Nation as well as Resolution 1624 may violate the principle of separation of powers within the member states, or only influence national policy.
