United Nations viewpoint on International Terrorism

Abstract

In this article, it is argued that the long-awaited United Nations Convention on international terrorism has the potential to fill a gap in international law, but only if it includes the provisions on the most recent forms of terrorism that proposed in the following pages, as well as an annex including a list of terrorist organisations that all international communities agree upon. This article's goal is to offer a possible way out of the impasse that has developed between states in their efforts to define international terrorism in a way that is acceptable to all. This suggestion appears bold and even offensive, but study says that the never-ending debate surrounding the draught convention needs a new beginning. A single definition of international terrorism, as acknowledged, would address the gaps in the international cooperation framework by "resolving some of the contradictions and unnecessarily wide or restrictive definitions," respectively.
