Criminalizing the Payment of Ransoms and Victims' Rights

Abstract

Acts of terrorism are considered a serious violation of human rights, including the taking of hostages, and there has often been discussion about undermining human rights in the context of combating terrorism. The issue has always been related to the rights of those accused of committing terrorist acts, such as not violating their physical integrity, and respecting the rules of arrest and detention for consideration, but the picture took a new angle in the last decade, where the problem of the extent to which the rights of the detained hostage could be undermined in the name of combating terrorist financing, or more precisely, is it possible to sacrifice the basic rights of victims of terrorism to the necessities of combating terrorist financing.
