Summary/Abstract: The terrorist waves that hit America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, especially after 9/11, brought to our attention the reality according to which international terrorism has reached an extremely dangerous level regarding the vulnerabilities, risks and threats posed to security institutions and democratic countries. Terrorist organisations have reached an organisational and specialisation level that allowed them to establish their own worldwide network, making thus possible for a real time reaction to take place anywhere on the planet. Their actions are extremely violent and the targets are various, especially civilian objectives and populated areas. The international reaction to terrorist actions consists of several measures and actions among which: intensifying the measures to fight terrorism in more and more countries; increasing international cooperation in fighting political, military, institutional and financial terrorism; arresting the most important leaders of terrorist organisations
