N.I. Kostenko Role of international law in fighting terrorism.

Abstract: The terrorist acts, which were executed in more than 10 states within the last six years, clearly showed that “Al-Kaeda” and related organizations pose a threat for an entire global community. For this very reason, the international law should be at the forefront of fighting terrorism. At the same time, as Professor N.I. Kostenko correctly points out, we cannot diminish the generally accepted values, during this fight. The article includes the study of the UN practice, a number of international conventions on the issues.
