Anti-Terrorism (Amendment) Act, 2019
The Parliament of Barbados enacted this legislation to amend the Anti-Terrorism Act by expanding its scope to include counter-proliferation measures for weapons of mass destruction. The Act establishes procedures for the Director of Public Prosecutions to obtain terrorist and counter-proliferation designation orders, which trigger immediate restraining orders to freeze associated property. It also updates definitions, increases penalties for financing terrorism, and amends the Constitution to facilitate these enforcement mechanisms.
