New Anti-Terrorism Law in El Salvador: A Comprehensive Approach to Combating Terrorism

El Salvador has enacted a new anti-terrorism law that aims to strengthen the country's fight against terrorism. The law redefines and classifies acts considered as terrorism, establishes criminal penalties for those who participate in terrorist organizations, and includes individual offenses. It also stipulates the prosecution and punishment of individuals who commit "common" crimes, such as extortion, drug trafficking, or arms trafficking, with the intention of supporting the functioning of terrorist organizations.
