Law No. 27 of 2019 on Combating Terrorism
Issued by the Emir of Qatar, Law No. 27 of 2019 repeals prior counter-terrorism statutes and establishes a comprehensive framework for defining, prosecuting, and penalizing terrorism offences. The legislation mandates the National Counter-Terrorism Committee to administer a Sanctions List, empowers authorities to freeze assets of designated persons and entities, and expands jurisdiction to extraterritorial crimes and stateless residents. It prescribes graduated penalties ranging from ten-year imprisonment to capital punishment, while ensuring that terrorism-related criminal cases remain valid indefinitely without expiration.
