Abstract
In the modern period of the widespread processes of globalization, integration and rapid migration, complicated foreign policy relations of a number of states belonging to transnational blocs defending opposing interests, of course, the problem of effectively countering terrorist and extremist activities, as well as preventing the spread of relevant ideologies, is becoming particularly acute. The international community, realizing the danger of terrorism and striving to develop effective measures to prevent it, has adopted a number of documents, which include United Nations conventions (for example, the International Convention for the Suppression of the Taking of Hostages, the International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings, the International Convention for the Suppression of financing of terrorism). The increased importance of this type of crime is also confirmed by the consolidation in federal legislation of the relevant concepts and forms in which the considered illegal activity can be carried out, the methods of its prevention and sanctions used for committing offenses of an extremist and terrorist nature. The main normative legal acts in this area are the federal laws of July 25, 2002 No. 114-FZ “On Countering Extremist Activity” and of March 6, 2006 No. 35-FZ “On Countering Terrorism.” For the purposes of criminal law enforcement of countering terrorism and in the interests of fulfilling international obligations, the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation of June 13, 1996 (as amended on November 28, 2015, hereinafter referred to as the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation) establishes responsibility for the commission of crimes against international security.
Highlights
In connection with the growth of terrorist activities, the problem of increasing involvement of adolescents in promotion of terrorist activities has become most acute
At present, qualification of assistance to terrorist activities is associated with the problem of competition between general and special norms. This competition is transformed into a collision between the provisions of General and Special parts of the Criminal Code of Russian Federation, because within the framework of the latter, without any justification, preparation is recognized as a completed crime, and incitement and aiding - the execution of a crime
Experts in the field of criminology, political science and other sciences related to the sphere of crime in question stated the fact that extremism in general and terrorism as an element of its component do not tend to grow and their local foci can be confidently eliminated at an early stage emergence, at the moment the authors emphasize the seriousness of the threat that these radical ideologies carry for normal functioning of society, the integrity of the state, as well as the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of citizens (Kochoi S.M. (Moscow, 2005))
Summary
In connection with the growth of terrorist activities, the problem of increasing involvement of adolescents in promotion of terrorist activities has become most acute. An appeal to the group of young people where extremist attitudes are in the process of formation allows us to trace the genesis of this phenomenon and effective forms of control. For a certain part of adolescents, terrorism is a kind of extreme sport and dangerous entertainment. The purpose of the study is to analyze criminal-legal characteristics of promotion of terrorist activities and develop proposals for improving current legislation of Russian Federation in this area
