SEPTEMBER 2013
Chapter 1 - Introduction
Terrorism poses a very big threat to global community and to States concerned. It has been sensationalized and on the mainstream after the Towers of World Trade Centre in New York City was taken down, burned and turned to bits by planes crashing at them on September 11, 2001 (9-11). Since then, States concerned were enhancing their security to avoid such horrible incident from happening. The initiatives mostly are from the National Governments themselves, Regional Groups/ Associations and Foreign Assistance although concerned States may have their initiatives rooted from a combination of two or all of the factors mentioned.
States have exerted efforts and funds to develop and improve their own counterterrorism measures, US has announced its all out war against international terrorism, Philippine Government to no exemption had initiatives that struggled to rebuild and establish relations for security purposes.
Violators of the law prior to the 9-11 incidents were called criminals but after the incident, classification was made between terrorists and criminals. Although different in labels, their actions have common nature and thus terrorists are now called criminals.
In a highly globalized world where everything seems to be at reach, some terms, classifications and definitions had also turned vague.
The researchers would look into laws of the Philippine Government and the compliance of Philippine National Police (PNP) in addressing terrorism. The study would look on how the laws of the Philippine Government are translated and implemented by PNP in securing the public. Also, media would be of great help as it would be

    I, myself, before September 11, 2001 did not know what terrorism was. It is completely a new term for me, and I could never figure how terrible it is. But then, experiencing and witnessing the feeling of losing the one you loved who was a victim of that disaster, I recognized that the world is no longer as safe as before. Today, not only America but also Britain, Spain, Indonesia…became the target of terrorists. The terror tissue is the most challenged thing for all the governments to solve. Even though after September 11, 2001, US has attacked and destroyed a lot terrorists’ bases in over the world, the terrorists still survive and keep aiming to US and its allies.…

    The Rand Corporation for the National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism (MIPT) reveals that there has been a 250 percent increase in terrorist activity from September 11, 2001 to September 2006 alone. If we divide post 9/11 into two phases until 2006, the first phase has 4772 fatalities from terrorist attacks and the second phase has 5177 fatalities (Conetta, 2006). Thus, all efforts to counter terrorism has only effected in their increase. The US war against Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Libya, North Korea and others in fact encourages ordinary citizens from these countries to launch attacks against the US comparable or even similar to terrorist’s acts. Instead of solving the roots of the problem such as creating an international atmosphere of peace and justice, anti terrorism campaigns have in fact sowed the…

    Terrorism has become a global threat and is not just confined to the theatre of war, it is also not only targeted at nations involved in those conflicts like the United States (9/11) and Great Britain (the July 7 London Bombings) but also with any nation and organization that is seen as an ally of such nations. ESICS Briefing on THE TERRORISM THREAT LINKED TO THE LIBYAN CRISIS states “obviously on the top of the list of likely targets for Colonel Gaddafi are the United Kingdom and France, they are closely followed by the United States (an old and usual enemy of Libya but also by the Arab countries taking part in the coalition, every single national participating in the operations could be seen as a legitimate target.”…

    The Origin of Terrorism

    Terrorism involves activities such as assassinations, bombings, random killings, hijackings, and skyjackings. It is used for political, not military, purposes, and by groups too weak to mount open assaults. Terrorism reaches back to ancient Greece and has occurred throughout history. In the 20th cent. acts of terrorism have been associated with the Italian Red Brigades, the Irish Republican Army, the Palestine Liberation Organization, Peru 's Shining Path, and the Weathermen among many groups. It is a modern tool of the alienated and its psychological impact on the public has increased because of extensive coverage by the media. Governments find terrorism difficult to prevent; international agreements to tighten borders or return terrorists for trial may offer some deterrence. In 1999 the UN Security Council unanimously called for better international cooperation in fighting terrorism and asked governments not to aid terrorists.…

    There is an extreme change in responsibilities and roles that the government plays in terrorism. New jobs and departments have been developed in order to control and prevent terrorist attacks. Some of these departments include homeland security, more enforcement control in border patrol and more in depth training in law enforcement. The federal government wants every level of law enforcement to know how to identify, prepare, prevent and take down a threat to the United States.…

    In previous decades, terrorism has been on the rise, and it has only continued to grow since the attacks of September 11th. In 2014, according to The Economist Magazine, over 30 million people were killed worldwide due to terrorist attacks (Daily Chart, 2015). This number is more than double the number of deaths from the previous year. In addition, the U.S. Department of State has over 60 different organizations listed as active terrorist organizations worldwide (Foreign Terrorist Organization, n.d.). In order for an organization to be deemed a “terrorist” organization by the U.S. Department of State, they must not only be a foreign organization, but they must be involved with the execution or planning of activities that have a direct effect on U.S. nationals or U.S. national security (Foreign Terrorist Organization, n.d.). With this threat being the main concentration of the United States over the last decade and a half, and still growing, it is easy to see why this is an area that the United States IC will continue to keep its center of attention on. What does make this more difficult, is the associated…

    Among the countless repercussions from September 11 is a new rationale for doling out security assistance: the war on terrorism. Not since anticommunism was used to excuse the arming and training of repressive governments during the cold war has there been such a broad, fail-safe rationale to provide military aid and arms to disreputable foreign militaries. Already the largest weapons supplier in the world, the U.S. government is now providing arms and military training to an even wider group of states in the name of “homeland security.”…

    Since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, the United States government has taken steps to reduce the threat of future terrorist attacks and also to apprehend terrorists before they have the chance to commit crimes against the United States and its citizens. Some actions that the United States government has taken since 9/11 would be creating a more effective investigation and criminal prosecution department, structural changes to the Justice Department and its component agencies, instituting legal changes to help intelligence and law enforcement officials, and partnering with domestic and international counterparts to better combat the growing threat of terrorism. Just to name a few.…
