The dissertation looks at the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) 2005 seeking to establish whether control orders under PTA comply with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The review of literature touches on the legislative history behind PTA, preventative measures envisaged by the Act, the implications of the deprivation of liberty as a control measure, Article 5 of ECHR, Strasbourg jurisprudence on the deprivation of liberty, etc. with references to related law cases and legal documents. Conclusions are made that control orders are only compatible with ECHR to a certain extent, recommendations are suggested about how to make control orders more effective in protecting human rights.
