The Anti-Terrorism Act is a law designed to prevent and respond to acts of terrorism. It provides law enforcement agencies with the authority to investigate and prosecute individuals or groups suspected of planning or carrying out terrorist activities. The act aims to enhance national security and protect citizens from threats. This legislation often includes measures such as increased surveillance, restrictions on funding for terrorist organizations, and penalties for those who support or engage in terrorism. The act is part of broader efforts by governments worldwide to combat terrorism and ensure public safety, often in collaboration with international organizations like the United Nations.
