Abstract
This chapter traces developments in Great Britain related to counterterrorism during the last few years and highlights the challenges to the rule of law raised by it, in particularly for the judiciary. It portrays the British constitutional order finding its feet after the fundamental changes made by the 1998 Human Rights Act, describing the tension arising with the judicial role changing while facing controversial measures such as 90-day detention, detention orders, and shoot-to-kill policy. An analysis of case law, government action, and academic debate end with a call for a new formula can be found, by which security interests can be measured against human rights.
