Some laws (or parts of them) need a specific \"start date\" set by the government. This document triggers when the substantive terrorism-related amendments actually become enforceable.\n\n**Important note:** This proclamation doesn't create offences or legal rules itself — it simply activates the schedules that contain the actual terrorism laws."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/criminal-code-amendment-terrorism-act-2003-proclamation-28-05-2003","history":"/api/acts/criminal-code-amendment-terrorism-act-2003-proclamation-28-05-2003/history","analysis":"/api/acts/criminal-code-amendment-terrorism-act-2003-proclamation-28-05-2003/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/criminal-code-amendment-terrorism-act-2003-proclamation-28-05-2003/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/criminal-code-amendment-terrorism-act-2003-proclamation-28-05-2003/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/criminal-code-amendment-terrorism-act-2003-proclamation-28-05-2003/documents"}}
