The Concept of “Crime of Terrorism”: the Relevant Case Law of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this research is to analyse the elements of the crime of terrorism encompassed within the relevant case law of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, in comparison with other definitions of terrorism, developed by international bodies. The study also aims at explaining what their relevance for the further development of a common agreed concept of the crime of terrorism is.. As it is well-known, so far, the crime of terrorism, despite its gravity and the threat that it poses to the international peace and security, is not regulated within the international law since the international community could not agree on a common notion of the terrorism offence. Thus, analysing the concepts of terrorism developed is of high importance. Because the Special Tribunal for Lebanon is competent in particular on the crime of terrorism, its case law appears of significant relevance.
