Abstract

Foreign terrorist fighters have become a painful reality for the internacional community in recent years. The United Nations Security Council has asked the States to adapt their legislation to combat this issue. Europe has been one of the victims of this phenomenon and the Council of Europe and the European Union have already taken action in different areas, one of the main being the harmonization of criminal codes to punish the criminal acts of these foreign terrorist fighters. The Philippines, also harassed by this problem, hasn’t adopted any specific step and can pay attention to the European iniciatives. Of course, we cannot forget that the interference in human rights and fundamental freedoms needs to be subject to controls and guarantees.
