Terrorism: towards international crime, or not? On definitional rebuses, current incumbency, futile proposals, and vexed judicial decision towards bottom line without tracing inference

Abstract
The international legal domain in terrorism issues is trending conformably from conceiving terrorism as ordinary crime towards positioning terrorism as international crime. So far, International Criminal Court has jurisdiction concerning the genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and aggression. Following Netherlands’ proposal on including crime of terrorism in the Rome Statute of the ICC, in conclusion, the jurisdiction of the ICC concerning the crime of terrorism has not been accepted. Accordingly, the crime of terrorism remains more often handled at the national level rather than international. However, in 2011 the Appeals Chamber of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon rendered judgment that included its jurisdiction over the crime of terrorism. Consequently, the matter of discussion is oriented towards potential and limitations in positioning terrorism as an international crime; arguments pro and contra for expanding the International Criminal Court’s jurisdiction over the crime of terrorism; as well as legal implications, especially the intersection of international and national law concerning the crime of terrorism.
