Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the key areas of combating threats of an extremist and terrorist nature on the territory of the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The authors considered the evolution of the development of terrorist threats and political risks, as well as the factors and reasons that contributed to the growth of radicalization of public consciousness, especially in the Central Asian region. Faced with the threat of terrorism, the leadership of the Commonwealth countries realized the need to form an effective counteraction system, a set of joint measures was implemented for these purposes, model legislation was adopted, decision-making mechanisms in crisis situations were worked out. However, the practice of terrorist activity is constantly improving and changing, which requires the leadership of the Commonwealth countries to effectively respond to new challenges and realities, harmonize national legislation, and use new forms and methods of struggle.
