Internaltional Legal framework and the combat against terrorism

Abstract

International security is being challenged by the contemporary terrorism which is considered as a more dangerous threat nowadays. International community, being aware of the consequences that this thereat is posing, has made considerable attempts even in the past as well as in the last five years to mobilize internationally in order to tackle such an issue as well as to make sure that the terrorist ideology and its consequences are minimized and isolated. One of the determiners of the aimed international success in the conventional combat against terrorism is the harmonized international legal framework as a prerequisite of a consolidated strategy in the combat against those who consider life as a minor value and death as an act of eternity. Legal framework is relatively adequate even though novel modalities of manifestation of contemporary terrorism demand more severe measures of the legal framework. Moreover, it demands international political consensus to prevent and combat this general evil. Obstructions, due to their national interests, by some states which have influences in the international decisionsf-making processes, are hindering and decreasing the achievements of allies or international coalition against the contemporary terrorism nowadays.
