International Terrorism in the Context of Ensuring the National Security of the Russian Federation
Abstract
Relevance. International terrorism is one of the most important problems of modern international relations, which humanity has not been able to cope with until now. This problem is relevant due to the increase in the number of terrorist crimes in the international space. This may be due to the unresolved problems of a social and political nature, the weakness of state bodies.
The purpose of the study is to comprehensively analyze the main types of international terrorist threats, their level and current problems in the fight against international terrorism in the Russian Federation.
The objectives of the study were: definition of the essence and typology of international terrorism; analysis of the features of modern international terrorism and modern terrorist organizations; study of the main types of terrorist threats and contemporary problems in the field of countering modern international terrorism in Russia.
Methodology. For the study, general scientific and special methods of scientific research were used, such as systemic, comparative legal, historical and legal, as well as methods of interpretation, logical and structural analysis.
Results. Practical proposals have been developed to improve the state's anti-terrorist policy. The main directions of improving the current Russian legislation regulating relations in the field of combating terrorism in modern conditions have been determined.
Conclusions. The study shows that over the past decades, a significant legal framework has been created in the fight against terrorist activities. Effectively countering the threat of terrorism requires a well-coordinated and interstate campaign that draws on all sorts of resources - intelligence, economic, security-related and diplomatic. It should be borne in mind that the fight against terrorism in the context of global challenges to society should be based on the legal recognition of any manifestation of terrorism as criminal, subject to severe punishment and must necessarily presume extensive cooperation between states to prevent, stop terrorist crimes and condemn the perpetrators of them.
