Abstract
Terrorism is a contemporary phenomenon which threatens international peace and consequences numerous victims. Little academic attention has been paid towards victims of terrorism in Saudi Arabia. This thesis seeks to question the responsibility of the state in restoring victims of terrorism, and examines state liability from three perspectives. First, attention is directed to the type of liability the state should hold. It is found that the state should primarily hold responsibility based on no-fault theory. No-fault theory applies as the state’s prime duty is to safeguard its nation, thus, victims should not be required to prove the state’s fault or negligence. Second, deliberation is focused on the scope of the state liability for victims of terrorism. Questions of whether the state should be responsible for the restoration of victims within its border or overseas as well as whether citizenship is a condition for remedies will be answered. Finally, consideration is given to the type of remedies to be given by the state and the processes involved in obtaining them. As a conclusion, it is recommended that new legislative mechanisms are required to fulfil the needs of victims in Saudi Arabia since the existing legislation and programmes are insufficient. Data is collected from various sources, and lessons will be drawn from the UK legal system.
