There does not exist a unique and authentic definition of the term “foreign terrorist fighters” nowadays, same as the term “terrorism”. The paper will provide an overview of the inter national legal framework for measures, as well as activities that need to be undertaken as a response to prevent retur nees to commit terrorist attacks. Also, it is very important to consider the profile of the persons who generally characterize the foreign fighters, and the ways they are most often indoc trinated, radicalized and recruited for participation in the for eign paramilitary groups. Perhaps the most important question regarding this is the actual way that the foreign ter rorist fighters should be treated after returning to their home countries, since the processes of their de-radicalization, re socialization, rehabilitation, reintegration and inclusion in the post-penal treatment are particularly difficult, complex, multidisciplinary and filled with challenges due to the socio political, cultural and security conditions in the countries.
