| | Terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | While terrorism refers to both motives and acts of terror by a group or an individual for a political or ideological reason, the act of terror is a crime under the jurisdiction of most countries in the world as well as various United Nations protocols. | | | The United Nations Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention has proposed a short legal definition: that an act of terrorism is "the peacetime equivalent of a war crime." [1] A United States court found that "the malice associated with terrorist attacks transcends even that of premeditated murder." [2] | | | Claims of responsibility – Although not found in state definitions of terrorism, a statement from the perpetrators can be an identifying characteristic of a terrorist act. |

| | Defining Terrorism |
| | All forms of state involvement in terrorism are usually placed under the general category of “terrorist states,” or “state sponsored terrorism.” Such a designation has taken on the character of a political weapon; rival states ascribe it to one another, and terrorist organizations use it against states acting against them. | | | It will enable legislation and specific punishments against those perpetrating, involved in, or supporting terrorism, and will allow the formulation of a codex of laws and international conventions against terrorism, terrorist organizations, states sponsoring terrorism, and economic firms trading with them. | | | Legislation and punishment must distinguish terrorism from ordinary crime, even when they might actually be identical in practice. |
