What is Terrorism?

It has been defined:
illegal use of brutality and terrorization against citizens.

It has not been accepted generally. A lot of scholars had defined but it is hard to define.

UN General Assembly:

Criminal Acts expected to provoke terrorisation in the public for political purposes in situations which are unjustifiable with the importance of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious that may be repeated to justify them.

The members of the United Nations have not agreed on definition of terrorism, and this issue has complications to meanings. Terminology harmony should be important for comprehensive convention of terrorism.

According to International Humanitarian law

Crimes that have been created by traditional law, subsequent by the desire of nations to produce practice and respect for legal obligations.

There is no internationally recognised legal definition of terrorism. Despite considerable discussion, the formation of a comprehensive convention against international terrorism by the united nations has always been delayed by the lack of consent on a definition.

Terrorism has not a simple definition as in IHL. Though, it prohibits acts committed in armed conflict which would be considered terrorist acts if they were committed by terrorists in times of peace.

According to OIC

Islamic Conferences failed to define, OIC has established a three-day Summit in Malaysia to issue an international definition of Terrorism. They were unable to agree on a definition, but their declaration criticizes all forms of terrorism including what delegates called state terrorism by Israel. the general definition of terrorism stayed exclusive when Organization has rejected the definition of terrorism:
armed struggle against foreign occupation, aggression, colonialism and hegemony, aimed at liberation and self-determination.

According to GTD:

Global Terrorism Database said:
acts of violence by non-state actors, perpetrated against civilian populations, intended to cause fear, in order to achieve a political objective .

There are essentially two steps to scrutinise Terrorism.

• commission of the act is concerned, and
• to pressure or intent, a government to resort terrorism.

It is sighted to confiscate this omission for terrorism. On behalf of illustration, This canon is rejected by US to the organisations who are attacking on citizens generally, political offence wouldn't be used to cover themselves, even they will have committed to achieve their crime by political purpose.

The values are protected, the benefits exposed by global harmony to criminalize the conduct which is touched by asset. Goals, national borders and power restrictions are surpassed the values and interests. The international crimes risked the straight outcome of comfort of the world when few nations are suffered, and international peace and security has endangered.
Political violence and violent crime are difficult to differentiated, as armed based conflict in rem, conflict other than state, violence and homicide. Ordinary composition criteria of terrorism, distinguishment from other forms of violence.

Nations are exaggerated to implement traditional limits to accept an international definition. Nations have not been uniformed at lack of definition obligations to extradite for acts of terrorism has forced nations in extradition of their obligations for crimes.

An inclusive settlement anti-terrorism is going to be implemented by the effort of general assembly of UN, to exist anti-terrorism conventions.

Article 2 of UN charter defines:

• any person who is harshly injured or died, or
• Serious damage to public or private property, or
• Damage to property, to result in major economic loss, when the purpose of the conduct, by its nature is to intimidate a population or on to compel a government or an international organization to do or abstain from doing any act.

Terrorism's effect on Human rights

It objects to ruin human rights, law and the values of the UN charter and int'l instruments. It has a straight effect on the enjoyment of human rights, particularly the rights to life, liberty and physical integrity.

UN has admitted that there is a harmful effect on human rights and security by terrorism.
Precisely, representative of the countries agreed:

1. jeopardize the dignity and security of human beings, threaten safe lives, destroy the freedom-fear of the people, endangers fundamental freedoms and destruction of human rights.
2. Has a harmful effect on the formation of the rule of law, weakens multi-ethnic civil society, destruction of the democratic bases of society and undermines legitimately constituted governments.
3. Has relations with international crimes, trafficking of drugs, money laundering, illegal transfer of nuclear and commission of crimes as murder, extortion, kidnapping and assault.
4. Has harmful results for the states' development in economic and social, threatens relations between nations and has an impact on relations of cooperation between states.
5. Terrorizes the states' territorial integrity and security, creates a severe violation of the UN.

The international Covenant on civil and political rights (ICCPR) applies also in situations of armed conflict to which the rules of IHL are applicable while in respect of certain covenant rights.

In my view:
terrorism is a personalizing and direct crime because terrorists target individuals, groups and properties that will generate the most far researching psychological consequences beyond the immediate target.
