Description:	Terrorism is a contemporary problem that has a massive global impact on the people and many countries around the world. The United Nations Security Council issued resolution (1373/ 2001 (paragraph 2 (b)) to encourage all States to “ take the necessary steps to prevent the commission of terrorist acts”. The Council also formed a committee to monitor the implementation of this resolution. The primary responsibility of any government is to provide protection, safety and security to its citizens. In Iraq, the Penal Code is used to fight against internal and external terrorism. However, after 2003 there is an increase in internal domestic violence that led to the establishment of Anti-Terrorism law enforced on 9th of November 2005. At this point of time, the new Iraqi government faced diverse reactions from supporters and opponents, while the country boarder became insecure because of the inflow of criminals that later caused the increase of criminal acts. The objectives of the study is to define and understand the concept of terrorism in Iraqi laws; its applications in the efforts to counter terrorism; the extent these legal provisions are in contradiction to anti-terrorism efforts; to study the investigation procedures that are affecting suspects and the prosecutors in the investigation process and; to examine how the laws can be improvised to ensure individual rights and freedoms guaranteed according to the Constitution and the Iraqi Laws. This thesis used qualitative Legal Analysis methodology to draw data from legal documents and reports, journal articles, books and on-line materials. The data were analysed and categorised to give meanings and findings to this thesis. Some of the findings includes (a) There are various definitions and concepts to the meaning of “terrorism” according to Iraqi laws; (b) The judiciary is seen as lacking of independence causing lack of due process that led to unfair trials; (c)Torture and ill-treatment practised on detainees; (d) Human Rights Violation is rampant and, (e) Abusive application of anti-terrorism laws in Iraq. In conclusion, Iraq anti-terrorism laws should be used to protect the people and the country from any terrorism acts but not to be used otherwise to accommodate violent practise and corruptions among judges and enforcement officials.,Sarjana Undang-undang
