Security Council legal rules for combating terrorism ConsecrationAnalytical study

Abstract

This research focuses on the issue of defining the concept of counterterrorism, which has become a major topic of discussion. However, the problem of definition remains the most difficult and almost impossible task in light of political changes and the Charter's inability to grasp the phenomenon and its changing nature in terms of methods, stages, and causes. Prior to the adoption of Resolution 1373 of 2001 and the establishment of the Counter-Terrorism Committee, the international community issued sixteen international legal instruments related to combating terrorism. As a result of the focus on the events of September 11, 2001, and the adoption of Security Council Resolution 1373, which calls on states to become parties to these international instruments, the international community gradually adopted its decisions, commensurate with the nature of the situation and the seriousness of the challenges facing combating this phenomenon. These resolutions became more comprehensive in their procedures, which increased the effectiveness of laws after their inclusion in Chapter VII of the Charter. From here, mechanisms emerged to establish legal rules, whether by imposing sanctions, freezing funds, banning the movement of terrorists or supplying them with weapons, or by taking measures regarding terrorism by criminalizing and preventing it, criminalizing its financing, and prohibiting incitement to it. States have addressed this problem by signing international agreements and protocols, which has necessitated the Security Council to provide comprehensive solutions by establishing legal rules and finding solutions to combat the complex and controversial phenomenon of terrorism, which has begun to undermine international peace and security and global stability
