2. Introduction
Terrorism poses a serious threat to peace and prosperity, stability and security,
coordination and cooperation, fraternity and friendship among the nations. It also
harms the political stability of the region, flow of trade among the nations, mutual
understanding for dealing bilateral issues and cooperation to adopt common
agenda for economic prosperity of the people. The international bodies which
control terrorism are as follows:
UNITED NATION
SAARC
NATO
EUROPEAN UNION

4. Role of SAARC for Countering Terrorism in
South Asia
 All the eight countries signed the SAARC Regional Convention on Suppression of
Terrorism.
In 2008, SAARC signed a Convention on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters
for investigating and prosecuting crimes linked to terrorism.
 Terrorist Offences Monitoring Desk was established in 1995 in Colombo to collect,
assess, and disseminate information on terrorist activities.

5. NATO's role in combating terrorism
 NATO’s Counter-Terrorism Policy Guidelines focus on three main areas:
awareness, capabilities and engagement.
 NATO develops new capabilities and technologies to tackle the terrorist threat
and to manage the consequences of a terrorist attack.
 NATO cooperates with partners and international organizations to fight against
Terrorism

6. Role of EU for Countering Terrorism In Europe
 The strategy is focused on four main pillars: prevent, protect, pursue and
respond.
 On 25 January 2016 Europol launched the European Counter Terrorism
Centre (ECTC) at the informal meeting of the justice and home affairs
ministers in Amsterdam.
EU countries have decided to start sharing terrorism lists.
EU minister agreed to follow the Terrorist programme and person leaving the
country to take part in Terrorism

7. Lack in getting optimum results by UN/OTHERS
 The United Nations condemned the action, but failed to take any
further action due to influence of Powerful Countries.
 South Asia needed joint efforts to fight terrorism, but the dispute
between India and Pakistan makes difficulties.
The failure of intergovernmental cooperation in Europe in the field of
intelligence.

8. Existing Strategies Gap of UN/Other
International Bodies.
 UN/Other organization should ask to Include terrorism in Syllabus in
School level.
UN/Other International bodies are not taking action against Black
Money
UN/Other organizational bodies should Stop the follow of weapons.

9. Suggestions
 The UN should remove the provision of veto power which is used by
permanent member of security council and majority of member country
should be considered to pass law against terrorism.
 The UN should ask to member countries to provide militant to support the
victim countries like Nigeria, Syria, Iraq, etc.
 Pakistan and India must be seated within to work together to fight against
Terrorism in South Asia.
 SAARC should develop its own security mechanism to deal with security
issues.
