Abstract

Benefiting from the progress of technology, terrorism poses a major threat to international peace and security. Terrorist acts might move to other forms and are the culmination of processes that often begin with radicalization, the formation of extremist views, and acceptance of violence as a means through which to attempt change. As with other types of offenses, there is no internationally agreed upon definition of terrorism, but several conducts are universally accepted as expressions thereof. Terrorist-related offenses include the use of violence for political purposes, such as the hijacking of aircraft, targeting of marine vessels, the use of chemical or nuclear weapons against civilians, kidnapping, and other forms of targeting civilians. Terrorism itself is not a new phenomenon, yet the early 21st century is being shaped by a more intense focus on the issue and an increased awareness of terrorist acts and groups. If terrorism in outer space became a reality, then the cause is not different from other forms of terrorism in that violent extremism is often driven by feelings of isolation and exclusion, as well as fear and ignorance. To strengthen a sustainable solution, responses to violent extremism must be implemented in a framework respectful of human rights and the rule of law; otherwise, the exclusion is exacerbated, and the international community will witness another form of chaos.
恐怖主义能否适应外太空?:国际法律视角
恐怖主义受益于科技进步,对国际和平与安全构成重大威胁。恐怖主义行为可能会转向其他形式,并且往往是激进化、形成极端主义观点和接受暴力作为企图改变的手段的过程的高潮。与其他类型的罪行一样,国际上没有商定恐怖主义的定义,但有几种行为被普遍接受为恐怖主义的表现形式。与恐怖主义有关的罪行包括出于政治目的而使用暴力,例如劫持飞机、以海上船只为目标、对平民使用化学武器或核武器、绑架和其他形式的针对平民的行为。恐怖主义本身并不是一个新现象,但21世纪初,人们对这一问题的关注更加强烈,对恐怖主义行为和恐怖主义团体的认识也有所提高。如果外层空间的恐怖主义成为现实,那么其原因与其他形式的恐怖主义没有什么不同,因为暴力极端主义往往是由孤立和排斥的感觉以及恐惧和无知所驱动的。为了加强可持续解决方案,必须在尊重人权和法治的框架内实施应对暴力极端主义的措施;否则,这种排斥将加剧,国际社会将看到另一种形式的混乱。
