Abstract

Terrorist acts as a threat to international community of states. United Nations has taken keen interest to assist and guide in the development of effective and efficient multilateral legal response to various diversified forms and actions of the terrorist attacks and drafted thirteen multinational conventions and protocols concerning terrorism addressing the roles and responsibilities of member nations. The paper covers the working of the various institutions established by the Security Council and General assembly such as Counter Terrorism Committee and the provisions of the UN Charter i.e. Article 2(4) and Article 51 dealing with the use of force. Kofi Annan, former Secretary General of United Nations; launched ―5 D‘s basic pillar Strategy to combat terrorism. A working operational strategy is what is talked about here and which will also take into account all the countries to raise a voice and more importantly raise their actions against these unacceptable actions. A long term solution will be the comprehensive strategy which will address all the relevant and non-relevant conditions which explain the framework to create and increase the power and effectiveness of the strategies. The judgements of ICJ in Oil Platforms Case, Nicaragua Case concerning the use of force and right to self defence have been dealt. The need of the hour is to place counter terrorism in such a rule of framework which would protect the socio-economicpolitical rights at domestic level and would yield results safeguarding the International regime.
