Systemic Nature of the Fight Against Terrorism within the Framework of International Organizations and Its Problems

Abstract

In modern times, the intertwining of the fight against international terrorism with the pursuit of geopolitical interests has complicated the global political landscape. In the current situation, the role and importance of both universal and regional international organizations in combating international terrorism have become increasingly relevant. While the United Nations (UN) serves as the central headquarters for this fight, regional organizations such as the European Union (EU), the Council of Europe, the OSCE, and NATO also play important roles in anti-terrorist activities. The joint efforts of these organizations are of great significance in formulating and implementing a common strategic course to combat international terrorism.
This article examines the characteristics of the anti-terrorist activities of international and regional organizations, the obstacles that prevent these efforts from being carried out systematically, and the challenges that arise, while taking practical results into account. The realities of the modern world suggest that the essence, content, and dynamics of the fight against international terrorism have undergone fundamental changes. States are now more sharply divided and face off against each other with greater intensity than during the Cold War. Furthermore, the potential use of weapons of mass destruction, particularly nuclear weapons, has become a more realistic threat.
It is evident that under current circumstances, alongside the UN, the importance of regional organizations such as the European Union, OSCE, NATO, the Council of Europe, OIC, Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), African Union, Organization of American States (OAS), ASEAN, BSEC, and others in ensuring international security is increasing. As a result, the coordination of their activities has risen to the level of a strategic priority.
