Analysis of the Experience of Foreign Countries in the Fight Against International Terrorism

The purpose of this study is to study the emergence and development of international terrorism and ways to counter it in foreign countries. It has been established that modern terrorist use acts of violence in such a way as to achieve the maximum possible number of victims. The development of science and technology has allowed the terrorists to expand their methods and develop new tactics. Over time, the problem has become global, as terrorist organizations can operate around the world and create a public danger to any country in the world. Quite often, the state secret services resort to such illegal methods of dealing with their opponents. Thus, terrorism is not a problem of a single country, but a problem of the entire civilized society in principle. That is why cooperation between different countries and the creation of international legal acts that would help combat this phenomenon play an important role.

Having considered individual legislations of different countries in the field of combating terrorism, this study draws certain conclusions. For example, for many countries the fight against terrorists is an important policy direction, since this phenomenon causes great damage to state and public security. Almost every country singles out terrorism as a separate category of crimes and develops specific measures to combat it. There are similar points in the legislations of different states, but for the most part these are unique legislative acts, since each country takes an individual approach to this problem. It is easy to confirm this, it is enough to compare the definition of terrorism in the legislative acts of different countries. Most often, faces and actions are similar, but they also have quite pronounced differences.
