Although there are certain international regulations pertaining to terrorism prevention, a country should deal with a terrorism prevention act as per provisions of the constitution of that country, he notes.

He is commenting on a remark made by justice minister Wijedasa Rajapakse at a media briefing on November 26.

Rajapakse said the PTA would be annulled once a new act is adopted as per international conventions, adding that the international community is of the view that the PTA was not compatible with international conventions.

The government is doing that while taking full responsibility with regard to national security, he said.
