1. Combating Terrorism ======================================================================== November 27th, 2001 1. Combating Terrorism: New Zealand's Foreign Minister Phil Goff has announced that Cabinet has approved Regulations providing tougher measures against specified terrorist organisations. The new regulations allow New Zealand to meet its commitment to implementing the United Nations anti-terrorism measures outlined in resolution 1373, which are obligatory on all member States. The regulations have been passed under the United Nations Act 1946. Niue passed an Act last week making provision Under the United Nations Act 1946 for its Cabinet to pass anti terrorist regulations without gaining authority from the Govenor General. The NZ regulations are an interim measure until the passing of the Terrorism (Bombings and Financing) Bill expected to be early next year, and will expire at that time or no later than 30 June 2002. __END__
