In any problem or political crisis, there are civilian victims, or people who represent a certain body. However, these representatives do not have any related concerned with the parties of the conflict, yet they help in one way or another in spreading and worsening this crisis and stirring up public opinion. Civilians are still greatly in jeopardy of being exploited, kidnapped, or taken as hostages, despite the agreements and international accords that prohibit the exploitation of civilians and threatening their safety in certain political issues or to settle tensions for the benefit of certain parties. Terrorist groups and crime organizations feed on insecurity and aim ceaselessly to take hostages and kidnap victims as a means to serve certain agendas or to obtain certain demands that serve the interests of terrorist organizations and the widespread the scope of their activities. Moreover, these terrorist groups and organized crime organizations demand ransom and threaten to cause more harm in areas where there is instability and conflicts. In this research paper, we will discuss the phenomenon of kidnapping hostages and the process of negotiating for their lives, we discuss the varying international positions in the matter within a psycho-political analysis framework.
