Summary/Abstract: September 11, 2001 proved a turning point in the perception of national security. The series of terrorist attacks carried out on the territory of the USA, verified and confirmed the need to tighten international cooperation in the fight against global terrorism. In order for the cooperation to be efficient it should resort to a full range of accessible means, from legal solutions to collaboration of specialized intelligence services, prosecution and counteracting threats. The article shows how much has already been done in the area of fighting terrorism and how many issues still remain open. Without solving them it is impossible to counteract terrorism effectively, respecting international regulations and norms that have been adopted over the last decades.
