The facts of hostage-taking are recognized throughout the civilized world as prejudicial. Current legislation in most states provides for criminal liability for the offence of hostage-taking, abduction and illegal deprivation of liberty. In the national laws of some states, the concepts of «hostage-taking», «kidnapping of a person», «illegal deprivation of liberty» is not always differentiated. Thus, in some states, in addition to the responsibility for the abduction of a person and the illegal deprivation of liberty, there is also the independent responsibility for taking hostages. In the penal legislation of other states, on the contrary, the offences related to the abduction of a person include in themselves the taking of hostages.
