Terrorism as a threat to human rights

Abstract

In this article, the author considers the essence of the terms "human rights" and "terrorism", defines the components of terrorism, establishes the interdependence of the fight against terrorism and ensuring the rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen. Being a form of violence, terrorism is used both by national liberation movements, ethnic and religious groups, and by criminal structures and individual states. The activity of terrorism increases sharply during the crisis. The impact of terrorist acts on the political, legal and social system in such periods not only leads to numerous victims and suffering from the population, violation of human and citizen rights and freedoms, but also has a powerful resonance effect, which can be a threat to national security. Combating terrorism is an important task of the state and society, and requires certain ideological and physical measures that must be scientifically based. Therefore, the topic of the article is important and relevant. The purpose of the article is to study the specifics of the impact of modern terrorism on human rights and to identify ways to prevent this impact. The methodological basis of the article was the dialectical and phenomenological approaches, as well as a system of philosophical-worldview, general scientific and special scientific methods, in particular: formal-logical, formal-dogmatic, systemic, formal-legal, structural-functional. The conclusions state that terrorism is a global problem both for every state and the modern world in general. It poses a significant danger to human rights. If necessary, human rights and freedoms may be restricted in connection with a terrorist or other global threat. Scientific novelty is determined by the set of formulated conclusions and consists in explaining the mechanisms of the negative impact of the ideology and practice of terrorism on the possibility of realizing human and citizen rights, indicating ways to prevent terrorism through the implementation of the principles of the rule of law and, if necessary, by limiting human rights in connection with the terrorist threat
