Universal Legal Framework Against Terrorism, Counter-Terrorism Legal Training Curriculum, Module 2, UNODC (2017)

The Counter-Terrorism Legal Training Curriculum is one of the tools developed by UNODC/TPB for transferring the knowledge and expertise needed to strengthen the capacity of national criminal justice officials to put the universal legal framework against terrorism into practice. The Curriculum harmonizes and systematizes legal concepts and related training materials and information to maximize the impact of training activities delivered by UNODC/TPB.

Module 2 familiarizes practitioners with the requirements of a wide variety of legal instruments. It does so by highlighting the potential of those instruments to assist practitioners in engaging in more effective international judicial cooperation. Although the module emphasizes the legal aspects of the existing framework, some extralegal references are also present. The reason for this approach is that knowledge of the political and historical dynamics that have led the universal legal framework to evolve into its current form leads to a better understanding of the particular legal aspects of the terrorism-related offences that are defined at the international level.
