	International conventions on terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		International conventions on terrorism set out obligations of states in respect to defining international counter terrorist offences, prosecuting individuals suspected of such offences, extraditing such persons upon request, and providing mutual legal assistance upon request.
		Second there are regional multilateral terrorist conventions, such as the Council of Europe Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism(2006); the Inter-American Convention Against Terrorism (2002); and the Organisation of African Union Convention on the Prevention and Combating of Terrorism (1999) and Protocol (2004).
		These are international treaties agreed under the auspices of particular regional organisations, and generally the Conventions are only open to be ratified by members states of those regional organisations.

	The United Nations Approach to International Terrorism following 9/11
		Al-Qaeda's surprise attack on the United States on September 11, 2001 shocked the international community[2] and forced states and international organisations to adapt and adopt new procedures, ideas, and policies in the war against international terrorism.
		The United Nations, the premier international organisation, reacted with surprising alacrity to the events of 9/11-the Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 1368 (2001), whilst the General Assembly adopted Resolution 56/1,[4] which unequivocally condemned the attack and began a process of dealing with the threat of international terrorism.
		The programme of 'Strengthening the Legal Regime against Terrorism,' which began in January 2003 and ends in December 2006 is a good example of dissuasion, as it actively encourages and assists states to ratify international conventions.

	Debate over decree on terrorism continues
		Fadjrul Falaakh of the National Law Commission and Rudy Satrio of the University of Indonesia said that the many international conventions on terrorism needed to be ratified to show the government's seriousness in combating terrorism.
		"International conventions are the best guidelines as their articles, more or less, are sufficient to detect possible terrorist attacks as well as guaranteeing human rights," he said.
		The emergency decree is aimed at accelerating the establishment of a legal instrument to combat terrorism in the wake of the recent deadly bombing in Bali, which killed at least 184 people and injured hundreds of others.

	International humanitarian law and terrorism: questions and answers
		International humanitarian law (IHL) is the body of international law applicable when armed violence reaches the level of armed conflict, whether international or non-international.
		The Fourth Geneva Convention (Article 33) states that "Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited", while Additional Protocol II (Article 4) prohibits "acts of terrorism" against persons not or no longer taking part in hostilities.
		The 1949 Geneva Conventions and the rules of customary international law were fully applicable to that international armed conflict, which involved the US-led coalition, on the one side, and Afghanistan, on the other side.

	U.N. Treaties and Conferences Will Not Stop Terrorism
		The bottom line is that in the war on terrorism, international treaties and conventions have value only as a complement to a clearly defined policy that is backed by a firm willingness to fight terrorism with armed force.
		While international treaties are a necessary component of the war on terrorism, they cannot substitute for clear policy objectives--such as the recent collaborative international efforts to police and seize financial resources of terrorist groups--backed by a willingness to use military force to support those policy objectives.
		If the war on terrorism is to be won, America and its allies must coordinate their anti-terrorism policies and present a united front in their willingness to fight terrorism on every level.

	Defining Terrorism
		As long as there is no accepted international convention for distinguishing terrorism from guerrilla activity—and as long as such convention is not accompanied by different levels of punitive sanctions—it should come as no surprise that organizations choose to engage in terrorism or in guerrilla activities according to their own operative limitations or circumstances.
		International mobilization against terrorism, such as that which began in the mid-nineties and culminated in the international conventions in the G-7 countries, the Sharem el-Sheik Conference, etc., cannot lead to operational results as long as the participants cannot agree on a definition.
		This need is particularly obvious in all that concerns the formulation and ratification of international conventions against terrorism—conventions forbidding the perpetration of terrorist acts, assistance to terrorism, transfer of funds to terrorist organizations, state support for terrorist organizations, commercial ties with states sponsoring terrorism—and conventions compelling the extradition of terrorists.

	Measures to eliminate international terrorism Statement by Mr
		Chairman, during the general debate this year, the need for international cooperation to combat, limit and eliminate terrorism was emphasised by several Heads of State and Foreign Ministers, who referred to it as the scourge of mankind.
		It was the first comprehensive standard-setting instrument at the international level which unequivocally condemned terrorism and declared that all States must recognise that acts of terrorism are simply criminal and cannot be justified under any circumstances and for whatever consideration.
		We wanted the Convention to be wider in scope and to contain more direct provisions to prevent and suppress, at the very earliest stage, financing of all acts of preparations to commit terrorist acts.

		If the "war on terrorism" truly is a "war," then the laws of armed conflict apply, both to the states combating terror and to the terrorists themselves.
		Protocol II to the Geneva Conventions, also enacted in 1977, is geared to protect civilians in the most typical type of war we have known over the past 30 years: internal conflicts or civil wars.
		Yet if they read the Conventions carefully, they would see that the law is binding on terrorist groups like the Chechens who allege that they are fighting for their territory's independence.
