Abstract
Does the flow of legislation arising from the United Nations Security Council's Resolution 1373 framework create rule-of-law and other issues of liberty for individuals in emerging democracies? This article examines the surveillance and other counter-terrorism laws created by Ghana, a Member State of the United Nations, in response to its international law obligation to combat terrorism. The article finds that significant tension exists between the government's attempt to implement legislation for the detection and suppression of terrorist acts and the rule of law and the enjoyment of individual freedoms and liberties in Ghana.
