Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze how world leaders manipulate the concept of terrorism to justify their actions in the context of politics and diplomacy. Through the strategic use of language, politicians and diplomats shape public perceptions and gain support for their military operations. By using language associated with fighting terrorism and protecting civilians, leaders position themselves within a moral framework that does not allow the international community to question or condemn their actions. The article also addresses the problem of evolving vocabulary of terrorism, including new forms such as "energy terrorism", "environmental terrorism", etc., that enable countries to organize actions under the guise of terrorism. To conduct the analysis, we applied qualitative research, case study and textual analysis of empirical research methodology. After the study of the article, it was concluded that the term "terrorism" serves as a powerful tool to shape public opinion and justify state actions by hindering the effective fight against terrorism. It is a means to legitimize politically motivated violent activities and to escape responsibilities in the diplomatic-political arena.
