Abstract

Terrorism has posed a threat to human society since times immemorial. People pursuing their ordinary lives often find themselves as targets of indiscriminate violence unleashed by the terrorist activities. The targets of terrorists are not well-known players on the domestic or international scene but bystanders. Terror attacks have not only leashed untold suffering on the lives and property of common people but also affected the course of history and the destiny of nations. The 20th century has also seen a spate of terrorist acts across the world. Conflicts in some continents of the world have been characterised by acts of violence against civilians which were perpetrated with the sole aim of terrorising them. Threat of violence poses an increasing threat to international security.
