Corbet dkk. , 2019. Seabra dkk. , 2. The world community is united against Terrorism both through the United Nations Security Council Resolution and independently to save life. The international instrument as the basis for the protection of children's rights is the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" . , as evidence that the world shows a general statement about human rights, this statement outlines the views of the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) on the guarantee of human rights for human life (Ataiants dkk. , 2018.

In particular, the United Nations passed the Convention on the Rights of the Child to protect the human rights of children around the world, the world child protection agency "United nation Children's Fund" (UNICEF) summarized 54 articles on child protection (Clark dkk. Lennox dkk. , 2021. Sambala dkk. , 2.

For the author, the advantage of using interview instruments is a higher and more certain response rate. Interviews with competent parties are considered more representative of the achievement of information in a case, so that data collection time by researchers becomes more efficient. Descriptive Analysis, because the data collected is in the form of words and images and not in the form of numbers that can provide a description of the subject of the research conducted, the data collected becomes a node of what has been researched (Castro & Tumibay, 2021. Mishra dkk. , 2019. van Valkengoed & Steg, 2.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION Terrorism has become part of the history of the nation's civilization that its actions are full of violations of the law and all of its actions are inconsistent or incompatible with the principles of life of society in general (Anwar, 2020. Longhi, 2021. Uzel dkk. Regarding the standard and definitive definition of what is called the Crime of Terrorism, until now there is no uniformity. According to Prof. Cherif Bassiouni, an expert on International Criminal Law, it is not easy to create an identical definition that can be universally accepted, making it difficult to monitor the meaning of Terrorism (Blackbourn dkk. , 2019. Gill dkk. , 2019. Sageman, 2. Therefore, according to Prof. Brian Jenkins. Ph. Terrorism is a subjective view. In International Criminal Law, the crime of terrorism is classified as an extraordinary crime because it is a crime against humanity, materially detrimental and causes economic imbalance of a nation (Elmas, 2021. Marchment dkk. , 2020. Yonucu. In practice, the perpetrators of criminal acts of terrorism systematically involve international networks across countries to succeed in all operations, in this case the success of handling and solving the problem of cross-country terrorism cases depends on the ability and professionalism of police officers who are responsible for security and Manulang said that whoever the perpetrator and whatever the motive behind the act of terror cannot be tolerated, the act is an extraordinary crime "Extra Ordinary Crime" The act of terror in public space is seen as a crime, not merely in the act but the subsequent impact it causes. In addition to causing fear, bombings and other types of violence lead to various motives of sentiment in the community between pros and cons. Legal Consequences for Children Who Commit Criminal Acts of Terrorism Based on Law Number 5 of 2018 Concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Terrorism potentially triggering further social conflicts. Therefore, terrorism is an extraordinary crime against humanity and civilization Terrorism is a threat to humanity and an enemy of all religions. The war against terrorism is a joint commitment that has been agreed upon by various countries. In the Child Protection Law, violations of the protection of children's rights, in addition to being a violation of human rights, are also a huge obstacle to survival. Legal protection for children involved in terrorism crimes can be maximally implemented, authorized law enforcement officials should provide more than one form of legal protection for children in accordance with applicable statutory provisions (Kisely dkk. Rasella dkk. , 2018. Seddighi dkk. , 2. To anticipate the involvement of children in acts of terror or other crimes, education, family, and environmental factors should be the determining factors. If children are involved in criminal acts of terrorism, they cannot be considered as perpetrators of crime, but rather victims of crime, victims of terrorism networks, victims of doctrine, exploitation of thought, propaganda from the invitation of parents or adults around them so that they must be specially protected. Children like this are only manus ministra, should not be sentenced to prison, but must be educated, given counseling, rehabilitated and social assistance. Include special rules and articles on children as perpetrators of terrorism in the Law on the Eradication of the Crime of Terrorism. Because the procedures and processes of handling children involved in terrorism have not been fully based on the Law on Juvenile Justice System, both by Densus 88 when arresting and investigating. Prosecutors and Judges during detention placement and trial process. Correctional Institutions in providing guidance, and the National Counterterrorism Agency in conducting deradicalization. CONCLUSION Terrorism causes a lot of harm, for example in the social sector, namely community life, mutual suspicion, grudges and others, in the economic sector it can hamper the economy because investors are afraid to invest in a country that is not safe, in the security sector, as a result the life of the state and society becomes uneasy because of riots and wars. It is the duty of the State to protect all of its people and strive for security measures, legal protection by making, establishing final legislation against perpetrators of criminal acts of terrorism and special regulations for children involved in criminal acts of terrorism.
