[i][b]The Threat of International Terrorism for National Security[/b][/i]

Journal Title: Krytyka Prawa. Niezależne studia nad prawem - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 1

Abstract

The article discusses the current threats of international terrorism for national security. The author analyzes two methods of fighting terrorism, emphasizing that on the one side terrorism is treated as a crime with all its consequences, and on the other side – after September 11th 2001 – as an act of ag-gression that justifies reaction from the attacked country in accordance with art. 51 of the Charter of the United Nations. Based on this analysis, the author indicates that contemporary international ter-rorism is perceived more and more as an asymmetric conflict, which does not fit into the classic cate-gories of war and peace. In his conclusion, the author emphasized the increasing significance of non government entities in contemporary international relations, stating that this situation will bring about serious consequences for international law, particularly with respect to the reinterpretation of the norms of the Charter of the United Nations concerning the use of armed forces.
