INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVES IN COMBATING TERRORISM AND THE ROLE OF INDIA

Santosh Singh, Dr. Swapna S Prabhu

Abstract :

The United Nations (‘UN’) and its specialized agencies have for several decades been active in developing a wide range of international legal instruments to suppress terrorist activities and ing the perpetrators to justice. However, terrorist acts continue to take place regularly globally, taking a high toll of innocent lives. Although several international and regional conventions on the subject have been adopted, the legal regime still needs to be completed, since some means of terrorist attacks, such as those used in Nice in 2016, are not directly covered under any of the existing conventions. The present paper exclusively deals with the global initiatives in combating terrorism and the role of India.
