ОБНОВЛЕНИЕ ПАРАДИГМЫ ПРОТИВОДЕЙСТВИЯТЕРРОРИЗМУ В РЕСПУБЛИКЕ КАЗАХСТАН

Abstract

The article provides a comparative legal analysis between the definitions of "terrorism" and "extremism," as well as between the definitions of "terrorist crimes" and "extremist crimes." The author believes that the current Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan contains conflicts, since a number of crimes of a terrorist nature coincide with the list of extremist crimes. Opposing the etymological approach to understanding the above definitions, in order to avoid conflicts in the criminal law, the author of the article proposes narrowing the concept of extremism and extremist crimes to a list of criminal offenses of an ideological nature. This will eliminate the existing conflicts and improve the concept of "terrorism," which should be understood primarily as a socio-political phenomenon. In addition to the above, the author of the article raises the problem of understanding terrorism in international legal acts.
