Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism

The Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism is a proposed international treaty aimed at establishing a clear and unified definition of terrorism. It seeks to criminalize various terrorist acts, promote cooperation among countries to prevent and combat terrorism, and ensure offenders are prosecuted. The goal is to create a legal framework that enhances global efforts to fight terrorism effectively, respecting human rights and state sovereignty. Although negotiated under the United Nations, it has not yet been widely adopted, but it represents an important step toward coordinated international action against terrorism.
