PSTB – 2026ஐ மீளத் திரும்பப்பெற வேண்டும் என்றும், பயங்கரவாதத் தடைச் சட்டத்தை (PTA) உடனடியாக இரத்து செய்ய வேண்டும் என்றும் CPA கோருகிறது. அதேவேளை, பயங்கரவாதத் தடைச் சட்டத்தின் நீண்டகாலப் பிரச்சினைகளுக்குத் தீர்வுகாணக்கூடியதும், ஜனநாயக சமூகத்தின் விழுமியங்களுக்கு அமைவான முறையில் பாதுகாப்பு விடயங்களை கையாளக்கூடியதுமான மறுசீரமைப்புச் செயற்பாடொன்றை அரசாங்கம் மேற்கொள்ள வேண்டும் என்றும் கேட்டுக்கொள்கிறது.
