Prevention of Terrorism (International Obligations) Act 2008
Enacted by the Parliament of Mauritius, this Act incorporates specified international counter-terrorism conventions into domestic law to strengthen national security frameworks. It establishes criminal offences and imposes penalties of five to thirty-five years penal servitude for unlawful acts involving nuclear material, nuclear terrorism, and the manufacture or transport of unmarked plastic explosives. The legislation grants judges jurisdiction without a jury to try these offences when committed within Mauritian territory, by or against citizens, or targeting diplomatic facilities, while empowering the Minister to issue implementing regulations.
