AB Over the past three years the number of foreign fghters either resident in Europe orof European nationality fghting in conflicts in Syria and Iraq has increased. Most of them shareradical Islamist religious motivations, and many States and international institutions classify themas terrorists or potential terrorists. In this study we aim to identify and characterize the phenomenonof foreign fghters starting from a historical perspective until reaching their impact on currentinternational security relations. This work also analyses the causes why some groups of foreignfghters might pose a greater danger to national security than in earlier periods, and the reasonswhy the increase in the number of foreign fghters in armed conflict generates a series of changesin conflictual international relations. Finally it analyses the fundamentals of the measures proposedby the Security Council, the European Union and international cooperation forums to deal withthe danger posed by foreign fghters of European origin, especially those proposals that imposesanctions as well as those that prefer to tackle the problem from a preventive and rehabilitativeperspective of the individual.
