Hostage Taking Act
Okay, so you know how sometimes bad people go and take other people to use as a bargaining chip or to get something they want? Well, that's called "hostage taking." And it's a bad and dangerous thing to do because it can hurt the people being taken and it can cause a lot of problems for everyone involved.
So, to try and stop people from doing this, many countries have made laws called "hostage taking acts." These laws make it very clear that taking someone hostage is against the law and can result in serious consequences, like going to jail for a long time.
They also help law enforcement and other people involved in rescue operations to work together to get the hostages back safely. The acts give them special powers to try and negotiate with the hostage takers and to use force if necessary to rescue the hostages and stop the people who took them.
Basically, the hostage taking act is a way for countries to say "Hey, taking people hostage is not okay, and we will do everything we can to stop it and keep everyone safe."
