International Agreements in Counter-Terrorism The purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the international instruments that have been put in place over the years to deal with terrorism. Terrorism is a global phenomenon with far reaching consequences, thus necessitating cross-state participation and cooperation. The conventions will be discussed about the specific type of terrorism that they are meant to address. In this regard, the major provisions and aims of five international conventions will be discussed in the ensuing paper. Instruments Regarding Civil Aviation The first convention that will be discussed in this regard is one which deals with terrorism and aviation. Airplanes are a favorite target for many terrorists, not only because of the publicity that such attacks attract but also because of the vulnerability of air passengers, which makes such attacks easier to achieve. Furthermore, the attacks of September 11, 2001, also changed the dynamics of aviation attacks by introducing the airplane itself as a tool of attack. In addition to this, global trends have ensured that civil aviation terrorism remains an attractive choice.
