Abstract

This article analyzes the criminalization provisions of the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism, the backbone of the legal regime for the prevention of terrorist financing. It makes a detailed examination of the background of the Convention and the nature of the negotiation discussions that led to its adoption. The drafters of the Convention were faced with two problems: first, how to define terrorism, terrorist acts, and terrorist groups, the financing of which should be addressed; second, the precise scope of the offense, in particular, how to define the preparatory acts of financing as an independent offense. This article argues that the definition of the offense provided by the Convention is far too ambiguous, and its application at national levels can often lead to an unjustifiable and unfair criminal law.
恐怖主义融资的刑事定罪:从理论到实践
本文分析了《制止资助恐怖主义国际公约》的刑事定罪规定,该公约是防止资助恐怖主义的法律制度的支柱。它详细审查了《公约》的背景和导致其通过的谈判讨论的性质。《公约》起草者面临两个问题:第一,如何界定恐怖主义、恐怖主义行为和恐怖主义集团,应解决其资金筹措问题;二是犯罪范围的精确界定,特别是融资预备行为如何界定为独立犯罪。本文认为,《公约》所规定的罪行的定义过于模糊,在国家一级适用该定义往往会导致不合理和不公平的刑法。
