International Terrorism: A New Mode of Conflict

Issue Abstract

Abstract 
Terrorism can be defined as the actual use or threat to use of violence by a group of  people to achieve some political goals. It is usually employed against a government  but sometimes another group, class, or party can be its target. Terrorism believes in the indiscriminate use of violence or threat of violence to create an ambience of fear or helplessness. Although terrorism is a form of violence it is different from ordinary violence. The target is the
immediate victim. In terrorism the most important result is not the physical injury or material damage caused to the direct victims but the psychological effect produced on the ultimate target. Terrorism is to be considered as a crime against the humanity, so it should be brought under the concept of Universal jurisdiction.
Similarly State should take legal measures to adopt terrorism as an  extraditable offence.
