‘Terrorism is one of the most serious modern global social problems and represents a threat to all humanity.’ Such an erroneous opinion is widely disseminated as if terrorism is the result of a brand new era. Terrorism has been present alongside humanity throughout its history as a method of deciding political or social problems through the use of violence. In the modern world, terrorism becomes the means of solving literally all problems, using intervention in the internal policies of any state. For terrorists, a high level of aggression – a refusal to acknowledge universal values – is characteristic. In addressing terrorism individually – putting out brushfires – no country in the world will cope with this evil. On the contrary, processes can take on an unmanageable nature. Collective actions are necessary for the eradication of this phenomenon. Everyone who participates in the fight against terrorism should understand clearly that on them lays the responsibility not only for events in their own country, but also the destiny of the whole world.
As is known, the terrorist acts of September 11, 2001, in the United States led to the significant activation of the struggle against terrorism in many countries of the world. The urgency of this problem in providing security for governments and their people was noted in a number of decisions of the Security Council of the United Nations. Resolution of the Security Council of the United Nations from September, 12, 2001, No. 1368, has called on the international community to increase efforts for the warning and suppression of terrorism, including increasing coordination and the full implementation in national legislation of antiterrorist Conventions and Resolutions of the Security Council.
The subsequent Resolution of the Security Council from September 28, 2001, No. 1373, established that all states are obliged to prevent and stop the financing of terrorist organizations and groups and to make corresponding amendments and additions to national laws. It is worth emphasizing that earlier a similar position of the international community on this question had been included in the Convention on the Suppression of Terrorist Financing of December 9, 1999, entering into force the next year. |
