تجريم دفع الفدية: بين الجهود الجزائرية والممارسة الدولية

Abstract EN

Algeria considers the payment of ransom one of the most important sources for funding terrorist groups, and within the framework of its comprehensive strategy to combat terrorism and drying up its sources of financing, it has initiated an attempt to create frameworks for international and regional cooperation aimed to identify the various sources which terrorist groups depend on to finance their activities, and the development of international legislation, necessary procedures and cooperation mechanisms to ensure the elimination and drying of all the resources.

This study examine the challenges facing the Algerian counter-terrorism approach imposed by international practices that provide the right of life for hostage as one of the human rights that must be preserved in order to justify the payment of ransom, although this practice allows the strengthening of terrorist groups and makes them able to threaten human rights in more severe and more widely, which keeps the debate on the international scene regarding the efficacy of international legislation related by combating international terrorism as well as international and regional efforts to limit the activity of terrorist groups.
