Abstract
The study aimed to identify the Jordanian efforts in combating the crime of terrorism by using a comprehensive analytical descriptive legal methodology. The most important results of the study were as follows: A terrorist crime is an international crime because it endangers international peace and security, even if it occurs within countries and from groups that hold its nationality. Jordan's issuance of modern law to prevent terrorism came as a result of global circumstances represented in the growing role of international efforts aimed at combating and eliminating terrorism. Most of the criminal legislation singled out special provisions for the trial stage regarding the crime of terrorism, recognizing the seriousness of these crimes. This is what the Jordanian legislature adopted from the outset with regard to the formation of the State Security Court and the dates for hearing cases that fall under its jurisdiction. In light of the results of the study, it was recommended to increase international cooperation between countries to combat the crime of international terrorism, whether by exchanging information about terrorists or exchanging and handing over terrorists for trial, and calling for the establishment of national centres specialized in combating terrorism.
