TERORISMUL DE STAT – O AMENINŢARE LA ADRESA SECURITĂŢII
STATE TERRORISM- A THREAT TO SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: State terrorism is not an abstract or exaggerated concept, but one which represents an all-time reality. It has been differently perceived along history. Sometimes it was considered necessary to submit rebellious populations, in other cases, especially in totalitarian regimes (but not only), it was believed to represent a form of security of the state, of protection of some political regimes etc. Obviously, state terrorism has neither justification, nor legitimity. It never had. But people have always practised it, in one form or another, especially as arbitrary opression of population. Currently, there are strong debates concerning this phenomenon and its juridical framing.They are trying to keep it between normal limits and avoid juridical framing that may be either unrealistic or exaggerated or conditioned by the semantic ambiguity of the concept and and its content. Not even the dramatical events of September, 11th 2001 and those that followed did not contribute to juridical clarifications in this matter. However, in the political and scientific environments, debates are continuing. We consider that there are significant facts and scientific arguments that can provide an examination which can clarify the uncertainties and even chaos that go with this phenomenon.
