Crime of Terrorism. Comments on the New Anti-Terrorism Legislation

This work does not aim to oppose anti-terrorist legislation. The State has an indisputable right to self-defense, and even to resort to violence to guarantee peace and social coexistence; but we categorically reject both the law of the jungle — which would mean State abstention — and the combating of terrorism through terrorist methods. Force does not necessarily mean being right. The constitution forms an unavoidable framework; the government and radical dissidents must engage within the parameters drawn by the political charter. The criterion of military efficiency and emergency criminal laws in no way legitimize violations of institutional principles. (Excerpt from the presentation).
