Abstract
The 11 september 2001 events in the United States of America have constitued undeniably a decisive turning point in the terrorism history. Since this fateful date, the virulent and tragic spread has not spared the DRC than the remaining part of Africa. In reaction to this criminal phenomenon and its tragic consequences, movements of technical adaptation or renforced severity of criminal systems of struggle against terrorist criminality have marked States at the national level as well as the international level. The assessment of Congolese criminal system of struggle against terrorism following terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 lets foresee a process of puntual adaptation of criminal normativity and institutional frame. It informs (tells) that before the 11 September 2001 situation, the Congolese criminal right of struggle against terrorism comprises a criminal lesgislation wich, though not including norms specific to terrorism, comprises pertinent systems able to prevent and repress activities related to terrorism. But because of the 11 September 2001 attacks, the Congolese criminal system of struggle against terrorism is clearly improved. First, the banning of activies related to terrorism on the national land is constitutionally devoted. Second, the law-maker develops (deploys) a pertinent criminal right that takes place in the general judiciary frame, but not in the exception criminal legislation of struggle against terrorism. However, despite dynamics (process), the state of Congolese criminal judiciary against terrorism provides information on major limits that let foresee the perspective of improvement.

Abstract: (french)
Les événements du 11 Septembre 2001 aux Etats-Unis ont constitué indéniablement un tournant décisif dans l’histoire du terrorisme. Depuis cette date fatidique, l’expansion virulente et dramatique du terrorisme n’a pas plus épargné la RDC que le reste de l’Afrique. En réaction à ce phénomène criminel et à ses conséquences dramatiques, des mouvements d'adaptation technique ou de sévérité renforcée des systèmes pénaux de lutte contre la criminalité terroriste, ont marqué les Etats, tant au niveau national qu’international. L’évaluation du système pénal congolais de lutte contre le terrorisme à la suite des attaques terroristes du 11 septembre 2001 laisse entrevoir une dynamique d’adaptation ponctuelle de la normativité pénale et du cadre institutionnel. Elle renseigne qu’avant la situation du 11 septembre 2001, le droit pénal congolais de lutte contre le terrorisme comprend une législation pénale qui, bien que ne comportant pas des normes spécifiques au terrorisme, comprend des dispositifs pertinents à même de prévenir et de réprimer les activités liées au terrorisme. Mais à la suite des attaques du 11 septembre 2001, le système pénal congolais de lutte contre le terrorisme s’est nettement amélioré. D’abord, l’interdiction des activités liées au terrorisme sur le territoire national est constitutionnellement consacrée. Ensuite, le législateur déploie un droit pénal pertinent qui s’inscrit dans le cadre juridique général, et non dans une législation pénale d’exception de lutte contre le terrorisme. Cependant, en dépit de la dynamique, l’état du système pénal congolais de lutte contre le terrorisme renseigne des limites majeures, qui laissent entrevoir des perspectives d’amélioration.
