The Terrorism Convictions Monitor (TCM) is intended to provide a regular overview of the terrorism-related developments throughout the EU area.

Issue 29 of the TCM covers the period of May – August 2017. It includes an overview of the concluded court proceedings in the reporting period, a selection of upcoming and ongoing trials as well as an update on relevant legal developments. The analytical part of the report contains an analysis of a judgement issued by the Higher Regional Court of Frankfurt in November 2016. The judgement concerns a returnee from Syria found guilty of membership in a terrorist organisation, war crimes and illicit possession of firearms. The Topic of Interest chapter presents some recent UN Security Council Resolutions in relation to the fight against terrorism, which may have an impact on the EU and the EU Member States’ legislation and policies.
