Federal Law No. 56-FZ of April 20, 2006 on the Ratification of the Convention of the Council of Europe on Prevention of Terrorism
Ratifies the Convention of the Council of Europe on prevention of terrorism of May 16, 2005, the goal being inspiring efforts of states to prevent terrorism through measures adopted on the national level and in the framework of international cooperation. To provide for the implementation of the goal, the Convention, in particular, specifies the duties of the participating states to prevent terrorism and introduce criminal responsibility for persons backing terrorists or directing their activities.
The main new feature of the Convention is attaching criminal status to public instigation of terrorist crimes, recruiting and training persons for terrorist crimes. Measures are envisaged to exclude access to public tribune, mass media and the Internet for terrorists and their sponsors. Russian legislation does not have a similar legal norm.
The ratification is accompanied by the declaration of the Russian Federation stating that it has legal force for actions recognised as criminal according to Articles 5-7 and 9 of the Convention in cases envisaged in Items 1 and 2 of Article 14 of the Convention. There is also a declaration of inadmissibility to abuse the provisions of the Convention permitting to refuse extradition and legal aid.
