AN ANALYSIS OF INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM

In the early part of the 20th century, terrorism got its starting point of
development. It was also internationally regarded an acceptable and effective
means of politics realization and likewise considered as the very attractive solving
mechanism of all the accumulated and complicated problems.
International terrorism is the frightening method of the countries by the
international extreme nationalistic movements, religious fanatic associations by
means of terrorist acts against governmental and society figures, officials of
international organizations and civil population as well. As a rule, the material
basis for international terrorism are criminal business structures including human
traffic, drug business, organization of illegal migration, different crimes in the
financing sphere and others.
The international terrorism is the 1.) Manifestation of national and religious
intolerance; 2.) Generating of profound inner social-economic, religious and
national contradictions in the countries with unstable political regimes; 3.)
Manifestation of increasing disappointment in disability of international society to
solve complicated interstate conflicts; 4.) Result of the cold-war, in the process
of which the participants used service extreme nationalistic or religious structures
for the organization of explosive works, sabotages, terrorist acts or even military
actions against their opponents.
The Declaration and Program concluded on the World UNO Conference on
Human Rights on the 25th of July 1993 in Vienna, defined that the acts, methods
and practice of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations is an activity directed
to the destruction of human rights, main freedoms and democracy threatens
territorial integrity and safety.
Notably, terrorism appeared on the global scenario, beset with various
tensions, conflicts and global changes brought about by significant increase in
industries, active involvement of mass communications and informational
technologies and systems, variety of social relationships and several modes of
political organizations. Politician murders, kidnapping, sabotage of transport,
operation of riot, and destabilization of inner environment of the country were
some of the reportedly result of national terrorism from among all countries. This
was due to profound economic crisis, cultural disorientation, and social despair and
political discontentment, to mention a few.
Terrorism and extremism in all their manifestations have threaten more and
more the safety of many countries and their citizens, draw huge political, economic
and moral losses, have great pressure on the large quantities of people and with
each day deprive more and more peoples lives. In effect, terrorism in all its
manifestations and forms, results in a myriad of dangerous problems due to its
great variety, unpredictability, and socio-political and moral effects.

The significant particularity of modern terrorism is well-structuralized and

organized character. The terrorist organizations establish the unique leading
authorities, management system and planning subdivisions. There were noted
negotiations and meeting of the most significant groups, organization activity
coordination of diverse nationalities.
The present terrorism can serve not only as an addition and organic element
but also as detonator of military conflicts and hinder peace processes. Nowadays,
the international terrorism is an integral part of spreading process of transnational
criminal organizations that are supported by the corrupted state officials and
politicians. The political terrorism is assimilated to criminality (drug business,
illegal weapon turn-over, smuggling, etc.). Very often, the criminality is disguised
by political aims and by disguising themselves as terrorists to claim, once
imprisoned, the same treatment given political prisoners.
Officials of different countries support the passage and implementation of
the Anti-terrorism law because they believe this will effectively deter, if not
prevented, the commission of heinous crimes and bombing attacks by criminals
and terrorist organizations. Likewise, the anti-terrorism law shall serve as a
primordial tool to improve the peace and orders conditions of the world and not
deteriorate the worse.
It is not surprising as external policy of the State to extend assistance and
support in fighting terrorist activities and cooperate with special forces to suppress
terrorist organizations. It should be recalled that the principles of territorial
integrity and sovereignty were highlighted in international law.
Unpredictability and severity of the threat of the modern terrorism compel to more
flexible use of existing law.
Systemizing the existing practice of world societys efforts coordination in
the matters of counteracting to the terrorism, it should be noted that there are
several universal international conventions in the basis. They are the following:
The convention on combat with the illegal acts directed against safety of civil
aviation (1971); the convention on preventing and punishment of the crimes
against figures with international protection including diplomatic agents (1973);
the convention on combat with hostage seizures (1979); the convention on
protection of nuclear material (1980); the convention on combat with illegal acts
directed against safety of sea navigation (1988); the convention on combat with
bombing terrorism (1997); the convention on marking plastic explosives with the
purpose of their detection (1999); the convention on the combat with financiering
of the terrorism (1999); and others.
Terrorism preventing is extremely complicated task, because this
phenomenon is generated by many social, political, psychological, economic,
historic and other causes. Accordingly, these causes should be the subject of
preventive interference, but it is not easy to fulfill this because considerable part of
these causes is connected with governmental power and its seizure, property
division, triumph of own ideology, change of national and social structure and so

on. By all the factors, the terrorism is ineradicable, because it is the form of
internal mankind companion that is MURDER.
Eradication of international terrorism is a long lasting process presupposing
creation of objective and subjective conditions for reaching the goal. International
terrorism cannot be destroyed only by force methods: violence inevitably generates
violence. The most IMPORTANT premise for international terrorism eradication
is the stabilization of economic and political situations in the countries,
fortification of democracy in socio-political life. Likewise, it is indispensable for
the countries to form political stable structures, mechanism of civilized political
dialog and power rotation. The elaboration of high political and legal culture,
distinct establishment of the legal sanctions for terrorist acts are needed to
counteract terrorism. Moreover, the creation of favorable conditions for the
development of diverse ethnos and provide their interests realization of being the
members of that country will prevail over the ethnic factor in the process of the
self-identification of the citizens.
All countries especially its governmental authorities are recommended to
activate their efforts to eliminate the movements of terrorist groups and their
members with stricter border control and rules of ID Documents and visa
registration to intensify borders security, control of foreign organizations activity
in order to minimize the extremism import possibility from other countries.
It is worth appealing to all State to take control of all governmental and
nongovernmental organizations that can be shelter for terrorist activity. Significant
attention should be paid to the latest communication means which terrorists use for
the propaganda of their own ideas and for communication with each other.
Dedicated legislative aspects of more effective control over manufacturing, trade
and export of weapon and explosives shall be given utmost preference. Measures
directed to decrease the level of unemployment and socio-economic problem
solutions are able to reduce social tension and neutralize the main source of
possible social excesses.
The success of international terrorism combat directly depends on real
operating cooperation between special services of every State. The efforts of one
country are not enough or even the group of developed countries. It is obvious that
for the combat with this human threat and global problem, it is necessary and
crucial to UNITE the attempts of all governmental and non-governmental law
enforcement authorities, as well as the socio-political structures, power branches
and mass media. Suppressing international terrorism as the global problem requires
COLLECTIVE EFFORTS of most countries and peoples of the whole world.
