Abstract

Terrorism is harmful to democratic governments and societies. In addition to the visible and the direct effects of attacks on
bystanders, aim bombers are undermining democratic values, including the weakening of confidence in state institutions and laws that regulate their functioning. As a result of the use of violence can permanently give birth to create a socio-political divisions, antagonize certain entities and groups, and thus provoke conflicts thus destroying the existing compromises, agreements or arrangements between the parties concerned. In matters of international terrorism it is not only a challenge for the ruleof law, but because it also applies to relations between states, poses a serious threat to security and stability.
