Legal Foundation

TLTE operates under UK jurisdiction. This page lists the statutes, treaties, UN resolutions and civilian-protection standards the doctrine sits inside.

UK statutory posture

Terrorism Act 2000, §12 & §13
No encouragement or glorification of proscribed organisations. The Final-Days Dossier and MP Packs are designed around this.
Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015
Prevent duty awareness on any educational interaction.
Online Safety Act 2023
Content moderation duties on TLTE's own surfaces.
Data Protection Act 2018 + UK GDPR
Survivor data is never accepted on the public site. Intake gated by Graduation Gates.
Companies Act 2006 (CIC reporting)
Annual community-benefit reporting requirement.
Lobbying Act 2014
MP-Packs methodology explicitly references the threshold.

International instruments we anchor on

ICCPR Articles 6, 7, 9, 19
Standing reference for the rights at stake in the North-East.
UN Convention against Enforced Disappearance (CED)
Framework PEARL and ITJP feed into.
UN HRC Resolution 51/1 (2022)
Establishes the OHCHR accountability project on Sri Lanka.
OHCHR OISL Report (A/HRC/30/CRP.2, 2015)
Canonical investigation of conflict-era violations.
UN Panel of Experts on Sri Lanka (2011)
Canonical accountability report; estimate of up to tens of thousands killed in 2009.
OHCHR A/HRC/60/21 (2025)
Most recent finding: surveillance apparatus in the north and east largely intact.

Civilian-protection legal anchors

UCP Manual 2nd ed. (2021)
Nonviolent Peaceforce + UNITAR. The discipline's primary curriculum, UN-co-developed.
Felicity Gray, ANU PhD (2023)
"A Different Kind of Weapon" — peer-reviewed academic case for civilian-led protection.
Berkeley Protocol on Digital Open Source Investigations (2022)
OHCHR + UC Berkeley HRC. Chain-of-custody standard for evidentiary OSINT. Adopted by TLTE for any Unmai artefact.
Murad Code
Survivor-centred conduct standard. TLTE references it; we do not accept survivor testimony ourselves.

What this foundation forbids us from doing

·Naming serving security-force personnel — even when a user cites Hansard.
·Aggregating our own perpetrator, victim or CRSV counts.
·Publishing operational security advice on the public site.
·Accepting survivor intake outside the Graduation-Gates pipeline.
·Asserting glorification or armed-group affiliation.
·Producing proprietary risk scores or forecasts.
