What resolutions should be adopted against the terrorist acts?
Indisputably, terrorism is a threat to world peace. In our world there is a rising of ethnic and religious discrimination. Violence and social-economic marginalization is much in practice. International organizations and politicians constantly pay attention to the problem of the causes of terrorism. This problem is one of the main problems in the development and improvement of legal measures to combat terrorism. The effectiveness of the measures taken to combat terrorism will depend on how accurately the causes of this especially dangerous crime will be established.
At present, the following causes of terrorism are called: social-economic, political and religious. The manifestation of political terrorism is the most significant in international and domestic terrorism. Statistically, it is evident that no country of the world is exceptional to terrorist attacks. Terrorist acts have even occurred in Ireland. Ireland has a wealth of experience in combating terrorism. The most significant confrontation was for the period the Northern Ireland conflict. A key issue was the constitutional status of Northern Ireland. Unionists, who are mostly Protestants, wanted Northern Ireland to remain within the United Kingdom. Irish nationalists, who are mostly Catholics, wanted Northern Ireland to leave the United Kingdom and join a united Ireland. Between 1968 and 1998, the Union of the Provisional Irish Republican army (IRA) clashed with the British Armed Forces. The biggest terrorist act was the Remembrance Day bombing. It took place on 8th November in 1987 in Enniskillen. Also one of the biggest terrorist attacks is called Bloody Sunday. The incident happened on 30th January 1972 in the Bogside area of Derry, Northern Ireland, when British soldiers shot 28 unarmed civilians during a peaceful protest march of the civil rights Association of Northern Ireland. Bloody Sunday increased Catholic and Irish nationalist hostility towards the British Army and exacerbated the conflict. Support for the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) rose and there was a surge of recruitment into the organization, especially locally. After these events, the British government was concerned about the further situation in Northern Ireland. The British government has proposed peace talks. Several agreements were signed later.
1) The Good Friday Agreement was a major political development in the Northern Ireland peace process of the 1990’s. Northern Ireland's present devolved system of government is based on the agreement.
2) The Downing Street Declaration was a joint declaration issued on 15 December 1993.
The declaration affirmed both the right of the people of Ireland to self-determination, and that Northern Ireland would be transferred to the Republic of Ireland from the United Kingdom only if a majority of its population would vote for this decision.
The latter statement, which later would become one of the points of the Good Friday Agreement, was key to produce a positive change of attitude by the republicans towards a negotiated settlement. The joint declaration also pledged the governments to seek a peaceful constitutional settlement, and promised that parties linked with paramilitaries could take part in the talks, so long as they abandoned violence. After meeting the declaration was considered sufficient by the Provisional Irish Republican Army to announce a ceasefire on 31st August 1994.
The eradication of terrorism is a long process, involving the creation of the necessary objective and subjective conditions for achieving this goal. At the same time, it is impossible to destroy terrorism by using force or terrorist means: violence inevitably breeds violence. The most important condition for the eradication of terrorism is the stabilization of the economic and political situation in countries, the strengthening of democratic principles in public and political life. It is necessary to form a normal civil society, in which the social base of terrorism is sharply narrowed. Another very important condition is the development and establishment of democratic traditions, the formation and development of political and ideological pluralism, the establishment of such rules of the "political game" that are characterized by mutual tolerance, the rejection of confrontation between various social and political forces.
It is necessary to create favorable conditions for the normal even development of various ethnic groups and ensure the realization of their interests in order to prevent conflicts on national soil. The task of the state is to create a sense of identity among all ethnic groups residing in a given country, in which a sense of belonging to their state would have priority over the ethnicity factor in the process of citizens' self-identification.
Some meetings and agreements at the highest level are not enough to eradicate terrorism. To effectively combat international terrorism, it is necessary to develop and implement a comprehensive program that includes political, social, economic, legal, ideological, special and other aspects. It must necessarily take into account the interests of the population, the problems and the conflict potential of terrorism throughout the world. We also need interaction and coordination of all the forces of society interested in solving this pressing problem.
