Abstract

The article examines the activities of the United Nations in the fight against international terrorism over a long period. The reasons preventing the formulation of the generally accepted definition of “international terrorism” are considered. The authors identified the main trends in the development of international terrorism, formed by the end of the XX – beginning of the XXI century. Special attention is paid to the reassessment of the danger of terrorism after the terrorist acts committed by Al-Qaeda in the United States on September 11, 2001. The analysis of changes in the conceptual and organizational approaches of the UN to the fight against terrorism is carried out. The authors conclude that the adoption of the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy in 2006 marked a new stage in the fight against international terrorism. The important features of modern terrorism that have led to changes in the tactics of international terrorist organizations, primarily Al-Qaeda and ISIS, are analyzed. The analysis of counter-terrorism actions of law enforcement agencies in Western Europe allowed the authors to formulate a conclusion about their insufficiency. The authors draw attention to the need to improve the anti-terrorist activities of states in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and call on states to cooperate within the framework of the UN Global Compact for the Coordination of Counter-Terrorism Activities.
