Local Self-Government as the Main Subject in the Field of Prevention of Extremism and Terrorism in the North Caucasus Region

The purpose of this study is to study the implementation of anti-terrorist policy through the powers of local self-government bodies. The objectives of the study are to analyze the powers of state authorities and local governments in the implementation of anti-terrorist policies. The study examines the provisions of federal legislation that obliges local governments to take part in the implementation of anti-terrorist policies, namely, in measures to counter extremist and terrorist activities. Local self-government bodies perform a number of functions aimed at ensuring public order and compliance with legal requirements within the municipal territory. But it should be noted that local governments should develop and implement measures that are aimed at preventing terrorism and extremism. Effective, comprehensive, preventive work allows you to minimize or eliminate the negative consequences of extremism and terrorism on the territory of the municipality. It is obvious that municipal bodies should carry out anti-terrorist and anti-extremist measures, and the role of municipalities is important in ensuring the security of the state as a whole. The issues of the spread of terrorism and extremism on the territory of the North Caucasus Federal District are still relevant at the moment, since it is the North Caucasus that has become a source of terrorism and extremism on the territory of the Russian Federation. Municipal authorities should address a number of problems that arise in this area on the ground. Since it is the local authorities who have more resources for an objective assessment of the situation in the region, which allows us to select the most effective tools for combating terrorism and extremism in the future.
