Problematic Aspects of the Legal Regulation of Counter-Terrorism

The purpose of this study was to study the problems of legal regulation and ways to counter terrorism. The problem of terrorism, as a negative social phenomenon, played the role of the inevitable companion of any developed state. The consequence of these changes in the world community was political instability, which led to the growth of this phenomenon. The tasks of the study are to analyze the causes of the emergence and spread of terrorism, as well as to study its legal regulation. In our study, we tried to uncover the essence of terrorism, which has become widespread through political, social and economic aspects, the scale of which is comparable to world wars. And characterizing modern terrorism as a criminal act, we noted its expansion to the scale of a multi-criminal phenomenon. Thus, by creating new and reorganizing existing terrorist organizations under the slogan of a single terrorist space, the leaders of which position themselves as legitimate power, they began to pose the main threat to the national security of the Russian state. Conclusions: we have established that terrorism is open, qualitatively impersonal and its ideas are mostly anonymously promoted in the global information space. Traditional media, having lost their uniqueness in creating information resources, lost ground to the Internet, which became the main creator and translator of terrorist publications. And the main weapon of terrorists was the propaganda and appeals of their ideas through the global information space. Thus, the fight against terrorism carried out in our country in recent decades, although marked by significant successes, still has a number of unresolved problems, the solution of which was reflected in the provisions of the Federal Law "On Countering Terrorism" and certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation regarding the implementation of additional measures to counter terrorism and ensure public security.
