State Terrorism Law

State terrorism law refers to legal frameworks that address acts of violence and intimidation carried out by governments or state officials against their own citizens or other nations. This concept includes actions such as systematic oppression, enforced disappearances, and violent suppression of dissent. It aims to hold states accountable for using terror as a political tool, similar to how individuals or non-state actors are treated under terrorism laws. In essence, it seeks to define, regulate, and penalize state-sponsored acts that instill fear and violate human rights.
