Terrorism is one of the most serious challenges to global peace and security in the contemporary world. It refers to the deliberate use or threat of violence by individuals, groups, or organizations to create fear among people and achieve political, ideological, religious, or social objectives. Unlike conventional warfare, terrorism often targets civilians and public spaces, making it difficult to predict and prevent. It undermines peace, weakens democratic institutions, disrupts economic development, and creates long-lasting psychological trauma. In the contemporary world, terrorism has become increasingly complex due to globalization, technological advancements, and transnational networks. Terrorist organizations operate across national boundaries, recruit members from different countries, and use modern communication technologies to spread propaganda, coordinate attacks, and raise funds. The rise of cyber technologies has further enabled terrorists to exploit the internet for recruitment, training, radicalization, and planning operations. One of the major characteristics of terrorism is the intentional use of violence against civilians. Terrorists often attack schools, markets, places of worship, transportation systems, and public gatherings to maximize casualties and generate widespread fear. Their primary objective is not only to kill or injure people but also to create psychological insecurity that affects entire societies. Another important characteristic is the political or ideological motivation behind terrorist acts. Terrorist groups generally pursue specific goals such as regime change, territorial independence, religious supremacy, or ideological transformation. Violence is used as a means to influence governments, gain publicity, or force political concessions. Fear and intimidation are central elements of terrorism. Terrorist
