A Complex Anti-Terrorist Function of the State and Law

Abstract

The State forms and implements the law, and the law, in turn, consolidates state functions. At the same time, the turnover of law stimulation prevails in modern conditions. It should be noted that legal thinking ennobles the national legal system. However, in order to facilitate the modernization of law, it is necessary to assess the regularities between the laws and the functions of the state, including in the field under consideration. The paper evaluates the level of managerial activity and coordination of countering terrorism implemented on the basis of international legal standards, as well as operational and qualitative legal thinking. The paper investigates the anti-terrorist objective of early state response to unconstitutional manifestations and its implementation that forms the anti-terrorist function of the State. Global terrorism and other forms of extremism are penetrating many areas in the world in the conditions of active globalization. The ideological virus raised by the bloody terrorist foam demonstrates a challenge to humanity’s ability to preserve itself in the context of relevant threats of internal and external aggression in the present and the future. Terrorism should, however, be understood as the ideology and practice of influencing decisions at all standard levels related to the intimidation of the population and (or) illegal violent actions. Extremism is referred to an attack on the constitutional system and the security of the State, carried out because of denial of legal norms and (or) rules of social behavior. Anti-terrorist and anti-extremist state response in such conditions objectively depends on the complex anti-terrorist function of the State. At the same time, the function of the State (or a state function) forms the direction of the state’s activity in implementing the objectives of the goal in question.
