THE CRIME OF ASSAULT ON MEANS OF TRANSPORTATIONAND NAVIGATIONAL FACILITIES AS A TERRORISM OFFENCE IN THE UAE AND JORDANIAN LEGISLATION. COMPARATIVE ANALYTICAL STUDY
Main Article Content
Abstract
There is no doubt that the crimes of hijacking of aircraft and ships and assaults on land means of transportation and navigational facilities are terrorism offences that are among the most serious and threatening for individuals’ safety and security. Aircraft, ships, and trains are the most widely used means of transportation; therefore, they should be safe and protected against any terrorist act, and a severe penalty should be imposed on whoever commits such crimes. Therefore, this study aims to clarify how Emirati and Jordanian legislators have addressed these types of crime, and whether or not they addressed them in harmony with the international community’s vision in combating terrorism offences. By end of this study, it is concluded that Emirati and Jordanian legislators have considered such types of crime as terrorism offences, and they have imposed severe penalties that are commensurate with the severity and seriousness of the criminal act committed, and that the two countries are in complete harmony with the international community’s vision in combating and reducing terrorism offences. The study concludes with a set of outcomes and recommendations.
