DOI: 10.52363/passa-2024.2-12

Abstract

The article describes the development of the counter-terrorism mechanisms. The world community's concern about the spread of terrorism is expressed in the desire to unite efforts to counter the common enemy, including understanding the essence and causes and developing conceptual documents to combat terrorism, the threat of which is acquiring transnational features.  For the organization of the fight against terrorism, which is a ‘constantly evolving system’, the formation of its legal foundations is of fundamental importance. Terrorism in the modern world has acquired the image of a global phenomenon that threatens world security, and therefore consolidated efforts are needed to find ways to combat it. The author analyzed universal international legal conventions developed and adopted under the auspices of the UN, aimed at combating various manifestations of terrorism, as well as the activities of the UN Special Committee on International Terrorism. A characteristic feature of this stage of the international community's fight against terrorism is the listing of specific types of criminal acts of a terrorist nature in all 14 international legal documents.

Keywords: international legal documents, mechanisms to counter the terrorism spread, global security.
