Anti-Semitism is a form of terrorism
What is terrorism?
Terrorism is not a new phenomenon, but has been used for centuries by both states and political groups. The attacks in Paris 2015, Norway 2011, London 2005, Madrid 2004 and the September 11 attacks in 2001 are examples of terrorism - acts of violence that affect many people and create anxiety and fear in society.
Neither the research community nor the UN have been able to agree on the concept of terrorism. There is therefore no clear definition of what terrorism is. This means that each country defines terrorism based on its own national interests.
Within the EU, the member states have agreed on a common definition of terrorist crime, which has also been introduced into Swedish law (the Act on punishment for terrorist offenses). Under this definition, terrorist offenses are acts that can seriously damage a state or intergovernmental organization if they are intended to:
Serve serious fears of a population or population group
Forcing public bodies or an intergovernmental organization to take or refrain from taking action
Destabilize or destroy basic political, constitutional, economic or social structures
Until the mid-1990s, terrorism was something that was mainly linked to national and regional conflicts. Today's terrorism is to a large extent international, violence-promoting networks where Islamist al-Qaeda is the prime example.
Global threat
The internationalization of terrorism means increased mobility for people linked to terrorist organizations and their activities are global. Another effect is that terrorist-related activities and ordinary crime are increasingly interconnected.
Today's information technology also facilitates terrorist organizations to spread their ideas and messages all over the world. The new technology has strengthened the global impact of non-democratic and violence-inspiring messages.
The attacks on the World Trade Center and the US Defense Headquarters Pentagon 2001 show that terrorism has taken a new, more frightening, form. The attacks were large-scale, coordinated and advanced. With religious motives several thousand people were murdered by a group from the other side of the earth.
But such terrorism has not always been. On the contrary. The history of terrorism is long and as European as Arabic, as political as religious. Often, it has also been far from indiscriminate.
The weak war
Terror comes from the Latin word for fear or horror and is a proven method of imposing people's will. Most brutal and bloody it may have been when used by regimes as a way to oppress their own citizens. For example, the word terrorism was introduced in the Académie Française in 1798 as a word associated with the state of terror which followed the French Revolution.
During the 19th century, terrorism was first associated with small opposition groups who used violence to achieve their political goals. The violence was then mainly aimed at politicians and other leaders.
For example, members of the Russian Revolutionary Group Narodnaya Volya (People's Will) used the word terrorism proudly. They considered that the Tsar and the then political system were immoral and that it was justified to use violence against the regime.
In 1881, members of Narodnaya Volya murdered Tsar Alexander II, but failed to launch the revolution they dreamed of. Nevertheless, the group's methods inspired others who hoped that it would be possible to change the political conditions in one stroke. One of these was the nationalist Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian student who, in Sarajevo in June 1914, murdered the Austrian throne successor Franz Ferdinand, which triggered the First World War.
Civil goals
After World War II, many movements in the Third World have used violence in their struggle against Western colonial powers. Some have succeeded, but far from everyone. After the liberation, some of the movements have, as part of the power struggle for the new state, used violence against their own population.
During the 1960s and 1970s, civilian targets for terrorist attacks became increasingly common, although the attacks were mostly confined to an "enemy". Most of the groups were secular and many were highly violent: the Red Army faction (RAF) in West Germany, the Red Brigades in Italy, Basque ETA in Spain, the Irish Republican Army (IRA), the Palestinian PFLP, Black September and Abu Nidal, Sendero Luminoso in Peru. , The Japanese Red Army and extreme Sikhs in India just to name a few.
The terrorists sometimes took great risks, and some were killed when military or police tried to stop them. However, in order for an action to be considered truly successful, it was normally required that the perpetrators escape undamaged.
Beyond the state
In the 1990s, a new type of terrorism grew, not least after Usama bin Laden became the leader of the fanatic Islamic movement al-Qaeda. Many in the organization's leadership layer fought in the years 1979-1989 against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and continued afterwards their jihad, holy war, by attacking what they considered were some of the Muslim world's most corrupt and US-backed regimes, such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia. .
In the following years, groups suspected of being related to al-Qaeda carried out several violent attacks around the world.
In 1993, they tried to blow up the World Trade Center in New York using a car bomb in an underground garage. The following year, the Algerian Armed Islamic Group (GIA) hijacked a French aircraft and murdered several passengers. Egypt's Embassy in Pakistan blasted in 1995 and the year following an American military location in Saudi Arabia. In 1998, hundreds of people died in connection with attacks on US embassies in Africa.
Al-Qaeda was a new kind of terrorist movement with a target and a network that was not tied to a state. In addition, like other terrorist movements, its supporters were prepared to carry out suicide attacks against their enemies.
Definition of terrorism
The UN has tried unsuccessfully to come up with a definition of terrorism that all member states can agree on. In 2004, the then UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan presented a proposal that terrorism is an "act aimed at killing or seriously harming civilian or non-combatants, with the intention of intimidating a population or forcing a government or a international organization "With the help of a common definition, Kofi Annan hoped that the UN's work against terrorism should be strengthened.
Many consider it possible to separate terrorism from legitimate resistance struggles by international law. The professor of law and the international law expert Ove Bring, for example, believes that armed resistance to an occupying power is not "internationally illegal as long as the opposition's attacks are directed against the occupier's military or administrative structures. The resistance movement must in turn be fought, but its activities are not illegal in the sense of international law. "
The problem with that definition arises, for example, when an organization does not target its foreign occupation power but against its own government or against other groups in its own country.
Terrorism
terrorism is a term for various types of political extortion or acts of violence that are used in order to create political attention and thus change or influence society. A terrorist conducts terrorist attacks to create fear and insecurity among people.
Terrorism is a difficult concept. A common definition of terrorism is "violence that is aimed at politics for individuals - kidnapping, bombing, aircraft creation, murder - by non-governmental organizations"
The overall international law framework against terrorism is 13 UN conventions against terrorism. Several of them came in during the 1970s, when there was left-wing terrorism as threatened countries. The conventions list acts to be defined as terrorism: for example, flight hijacking or hostage taking. It is the basis of international law for all work against terrorism, and the definition of terrorism. This base has been developed since the 1970s and today provides a common legal understanding of what can constitute a terrorist act. However, none of the texts contain an overall definition of the concept of terrorism.
In September 2006, the UN General Assembly unanimously adopted a global strategy against terrorism. The strategy is concrete and sets out in four chapters a series of actions undertaken by the Member States in order to prevent and combat terrorism. The strategy also provides some guidance on factors that are considered to constitute breeding grounds for terrorism. The EU has its own strategy against terrorism, and an action plan to counter radicalization and recruitment of people for acts of terrorism.
A comprehensive convention on terrorism
Since 2000, negotiations have been conducted in the UN on a comprehensive convention on terrorism in order to create a uniform international law basis for being able to say what is terrorism. However, that convention does not contain any actual definition of terrorism. On the other hand, proposals have been submitted that aim at defining terrorist acts. Unlike several previous terrorist conventions, the overall convention will also apply to certain acts under armed conflict.
The most important outstanding issue in the negotiations is precisely the demarcation of international humanitarian law and the documents to be excluded from the Convention. One example is the question of where the boundary goes between a guerrilla movement fighting its country's government, and a terrorist group that is performing similar attacks in order to destabilize the country.
Swedish law
In Sweden, we have a law on terrorist offenses that is based on the EU Framework Decision on combating terrorism. The law defines what is terrorism, which must first be determined.
Under the law, terrorism is: To commit an act that can seriously harm a state or intergovernmental organization with the purpose of: Frightening a population or population group, forcing public bodies or an intergovernmental organization to do something or to refrain from doing anything or to destabilize or destroy basic political, constitutional, economic or social structures. Post-war terrorism can often be seen as a side effect of a widespread and growing globalization with few winners and many losers. Terrorism has then been an extreme method for marginalized groups to create, in a shocking and ruthless way, attention in an inaudible world .Al qaeda, al nusrah, jebaht al sham, isis are real terrorist
