Abstract

International terrorism, a phenomenon with constant development, is today a certainty and has dramatically marked the beginning of this century and millennium. This problem has reached a global dimension and it represents a concern to the entire international community. Over the time, numerous international and regional regulations have been framed, in order to prevent and combat terrorism. The European Union condemns terrorist acts and recognizes the central role of the United Nations, in fighting against terrorism and promoting security, as well as the contribution of the new NATO in what concerns the defense and security promotion. Europe has to act more firmly in order to consolidate the defense against terrorism and the European Union's borders. At the same time, the European Union considers that only a concerted and firm action from all the states and the major actors on the international scene would lead to the identification of the solutions which can contribute to the efficient fight against terrorism and, by these means, provide for the international peace and security. The proportion of the danger terrorism represents has turned the fight against this phenomenon in an international community's desideratum.
