This paper aims to delve into the nuanced and multifaceted realm of terrorism in Indonesia, focusing specifically on understanding the experiences of terrorists themselves, and the subsequent processes of deradicalization and counterterrorism within the country. Through a combination of qualitative research methods, including interviews, case studies, and analysis of extremist narratives, this study seeks to shed light on the motivations, pathways, and challenges associated with terrorism and its aftermath in Indonesia. The research will explore the ideological foundations of terrorism, examining how socio-political, economic, and religious factors contribute to radicalization. It will investigate the tactics used in recruitment and the evolving nature of extremist narratives in Indonesia. Additionally, the paper will assess the effectiveness of various counterterrorism strategies implemented by governmental and non-governmental entities, including law enforcement agencies and civil society organizations. Furthermore, the study will scrutinize the process of deradicalization, rehabilitation, and reintegration of former terrorists, evaluating the success of existing programs and identifying barriers to their implementation. It will also analyze the role of community engagement, religious leaders, and social support networks in preventing radicalization and promoting deradicalization efforts. By synthesizing empirical evidence and insights from Indonesia's context, this paper aims to contribute to the broader discourse on terrorism and counterterrorism strategies. It seeks to provide actionable recommendations for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers to enhance efforts in combating terrorism while fostering peace and resilience in Indonesia and beyond.Terrorism

In Indonesia, the issue of child protection within the context of perpetrators of terrorism presents a multifaceted challenge that necessitates a careful balance between justice and rehabilitation. This paper delves into the complexities surrounding this issue, acknowledging the rights and well-being of children while addressing the imperative for accountability and security. While children may be both victims and perpetrators of terrorism, the prevailing question is how to effectively respond to their involvement. This paper examines the existing legal frameworks in Indonesia, international standards, and the various challenges encountered in implementing appropriate strategies. It considers the identification and assessment of affected children, the efficacy of rehabilitation and reintegration programs, as well as the importance of psychological and social support. Moreover, it highlights the significance of community perceptions and the risk of stigmatization, as well as the need for long-term monitoring to prevent recidivism. Ultimately, this paper advocates for a comprehensive approach that combines punitive measures with rehabilitation efforts, emphasizing the importance of multi-agency collaboration, educational initiatives, psychosocial support, and legal safeguards. Through case studies and lessons learned, it aims to inform policymakers and practitioners in Indonesia on effective strategies for ensuring the protection and well-being of children involved in terrorism while upholding principles of justice and accountability.

Significant literature has concluded that Islamic-terrorist activity in the Middle East and in Europe had increased drastically since the beginning of the implementation of the Bush Doctrine in 2001 after 9/11, with the rise of ISIS. However, little is known about the causal mechanism that links between the Post-9/11 U.S. foreign policy and the rise of new terrorist organizations, particularly the Islamic State in Iraq. Hence, the focus of this study is to process trace such mechanism. It will also explain why the War on Terror has produced totally opposite results from those it was originally intended for. Finally, this study is a within-case analysis that might be a microscopic observation of the imperial American behavior in the Middle East. This study relies on explaining outcome process-tracing methodology, and employing oral and historical accounts, archives and statistical data. I argue that the War on Terror, precisely the period of the Bush’s presidency (2001-2009), to be the continuity of the historical imperial behavior that inspires the U.S. foreign policy. I will only focus on two main policies: the Invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and the Invasion of Iraq in 2003 because invasion is the most concrete manifestation of imperialism. The result shows that the invasion of Iraq led to sectarianism that IS feeds on, and that the invasion of Afghanistan led to the geographical expansion of Jihadists. Together they fused to cause the mutation of Al-Qaeda into a more complex Islamic-inspired terrorist organization (IS).

Pancasila is a solution to the problem of radicalism that is currently plaguing Indonesia. So it is hoped that the values in Pancasila must really be carried out by the people of Indonesia in order to prevent and minimize radicalism and terrorism in our beloved country. The loss of the values contained in Pancasila in Indonesian society is the root of the emergence of various acts of radicalism and terrorism in Indonesia. Therefore, the implementation of Pancasila values, in order to remain actual in facing the threat of radicalism, must place more emphasis on conveying three messages, namely, first, this country was formed based on agreement and equality, in which no one should feel that he is the main shareholder, or citizen. first class. Second, the rules of the game within the state have been agreed upon, and the state has full sovereignty to discipline its state members who are trying systematically to change the order, in ways that are against the law. Third, the state provides protection, opportunity, future and balanced protection to achieve the national goals of a just and prosperous, secure, civilized and independent society. The Indonesian government has recently begun to be wary of the development of radicalism in the country in relation to the ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) network. The issue of ISIS has become a global issue and it seems that the world is united to fight it. Seeing this phenomenon, steps need to be taken to prevent radicalism from thriving in this motherland. In addition to taking action against the perpetrators of radicalism, the government must also take preventive or preventive measures so that people are not easily provoked by ideologies that use religious attributes. Close cooperation is needed between the government, security forces and religious leaders to straighten out religious understanding.

The global quest to fight terror worldwide cannot be over emphasised as extremists and non -state actors continue to ravage the ungoverned spaces opening up around the globe. Consequently this work is an evaluation of the use of ICT in counter terrorism efforts in Nigeria as a fledgling democracy. The study reviewed the challenges and prospects of the application of ICT to counter terror in a country where Boko Haram, ISWAP, and other militant groups have continue to challenge the legitimacy and territorial integrity of the Nigerian state. The work used the mixed method –comprising qualitative and quantitative analytical efforts and found out that for the Nigerian State to make sustainable impacts in her counter terrorism efforts ICT should be the pivot. In the same vein, the study advocated adequate training and sustainable Information Technology policy and culture that will encourage the development of substantial capacity to drive an ICT-driven counter terrorism in a world full of rapidly mutating terrorism.

Regarding terrorism, it is endless if discussed further. Nowadays the world or the international community often considers that Muslims are terrorists, and in their minds, they have been imprinted if there is a crime of terrorism, surely Muslims are the perpetrators. Even though it is a very, very big mistake. Muslims are never taught to be terrorists, they are never taught or educated to be criminals. Many in the international community do not want to make friends with people who convert to Islam because they are afraid. Why do so many people misinterpret the radical movement and relate to the religion of Islam. Of course, this is not true. We as a young generation must change the existing mindset, which has been imprinted in many of the thoughts of the international community regarding terrorism itself. In fact, terrorism is a criminal act that is currently the most troubling criminal offense in the world.

Terrorism is a crime that endangers the security, peace and welfare of people while posing a severe threat to the sovereignty of every nation. This was inextricably linked to the suffering of victims of terrorism-related crimes, who needed the government to provide them with legal protection. The study aims to analyze and compare some cases concerning how victims of terrorist crimes in Indonesia are protected by the law, particularly with regard to medical assistance, psychosocial and psychological rehabilitation. With a legal empirical methodology and descriptive analytical research criteria, this study used qualitative research techniques. The study was carried out in Jakarta at the National Counterterrorism Agency. Primary data and secondary data are also used. Using interviews and a literature review, the data is collected. The data were reduced, displayed, and categorize using the methods described above. using qualitative analytical techniques to provide data as narrative text descriptions. According to the study's findings, there are advantages and disadvantages to Indonesia's legal protection of those who have been victims of terrorist crimes. One issue is that the filing deadline for claims made on behalf of those who have already been victims of terrorism crimes is only June 22, 2021.
