What would ransoms be exactly? I'd define it as a fine of sorts demanded by terrorsits mainly for the release of hostages, but any other other financial demands I think would be included.

An influencial figure in your nation has been taken captive by extremists and they demand 1M for their release. You could obviously negotiate with them, but would you pay any fine for their release?

Maybe all countrys with Problems with demands by terrorists should join an anti-terrorism coalition and build a Team of highly trained Elites that can handle such Situations, in that way the nation wants it to be .

This is a great bill.
I feel like for clarity, we should post all new bills as separate threads in the Parliament forum. I missed this one for several days because this mega thread has gotten confusing. Could also help MPs to know when there's new business to consider.

I missed this one for several days because this mega thread has gotten confusing. Could also help MPs to know when there's new business to consider. By writing this I will be notified about any new activity. So I can stay up-to-date easier. Also, I agree with you ,Fort.
