Anti-Terrorism Act 2018
The Bahamas has enacted the Anti-Terrorism Act 2018 to establish a comprehensive legal framework for preventing and prosecuting terrorist acts and their financing. The legislation defines weapons of mass destruction, criminalizes the development, use, and funding of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons, and creates specific offences for property misuse, training, and international travel related to terrorism. It grants enforcement authorities broad powers to designate entities, freeze assets, revoke licenses, and apply these provisions extraterritorially while prescribing substantial fines and imprisonment terms for violations.
