STATE TERRORISM – POLITICAL-SECURITY AND CRIMINAL ASPECT

The goal of this paper is to provide an answer to the question of what state terrorism is, what are its criminal law and security-political specificities, causes, and what is the role of the state as an actor in its origin, implementation and development. It is very difficult to give an objective and scientifically reasoned answer to these questions, because in the case of state terrorism, the state, with its activities, concrete actions and procedures, leaves the generally accepted framework of the principle of legality and becomes a direct or indirect actor, the subject of terrorism that aims to achieve its state-political, military, economic and other goals and interests, plans, organizes, finances and implements various forms of political violence in the form of spreading fear, pressure, threats, assassinations, political murders, diversions, subversions, causing riots, riots, rebellions and uprisings and wars. For these purposes, the state, as an actor of this form of terrorism, uses the legal state apparatus and available resources.
