What is International Responses to Terrorism : New Initiatives about?

Conference speakers were selected on the basis of their knowledge about the threat and impact of terrorism. The conference was designed to serve as a forum for exploring terrorism as a worldwide phenomenon and to bridge the gap between Middle Eastern scholars and practitioners and their counterparts in the United States and Europe. Conference topics concerned the American perspective on terrorism, United Nations activities in combating terrorism, political violence in Northern Ireland, the use of military forces to combat terrorism, the terrorist-nuclear threat, low intensity conflict, the role of international task forces in counterterrorism, and terrorism and human rights. The conference did not focus on whether terrorists are dedicated freedom fighters as they often claim or on whether terrorists are merely psychopaths disguised as political activists. Rather, the conference sought to explore terrorism as a global concern that requires an international, coordinated response. 25 end notes, 5 figures
