Ben Saul, the United Nations special rapporteur on human rights and counterterrorism, has welcomed the UK’s High Court ruling that the government’s ban on the pro-Palestinian campaign group Palestine Action as a “terror group” was unlawful.

In a post on X, the special rapporteur said the government’s proscription was “indeed disproportionate” and invited the UK’s home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, to “reflect” on the ruling and accept the court’s decision.
