Legal Frameworks and Policies Undertaken by Saudi Arabia to Foster Moderation, Safeguard Stability, and Combat the Ideological Foundations of Terrorism: A Domestic and International Analysis

ABSTRACT

As a nation guided by divine instruction to embrace moderation, we embody a balanced approach in our faith, societal attitudes, and intellectual framework. Straying from this path of moderation constitutes a form of intellectual deviation, particularly when it fosters misconceptions or ideologies that conflict with the principles of true religion. This intellectual imbalance forms the basis of this studys inquiry. Terrorism, at its core, seeks to undermine efforts to foster dialogue and peace, distancing societies from balanced intellectual affiliations. A key finding of this research is that Saudi Arabia has established a consistent and balanced approach in its domestic policies and international engagements, adhering to the agreements and conventions it has signed. The Kingdom’s efforts reflect a commitment to addressing terrorism through legislative measures and diplomatic initiatives designed to promote peace and counter extremist ideologies. The study explores critical questions, such as defining intellectual affiliation and terrorism, and examining the legislative and international measures Saudi Arabia has implemented to renounce terrorism and uphold intellectual and societal moderation. The significance of moderation, institutional frameworks, and their effectiveness is emphasized, highlighting how neglecting this balanced approach fosters intellectual divergence and facilitates the emergence of poorly grounded affiliations with extremist groups or ideologies.
