Abstract

Of the major threats to the security and survival of Western political institutions, international terrorism is surely the greatest. Terrorism rejects morality and the political process, promotes totalitarianism and threatens only democratic systems. It has now become an international phenomenon, with links between terrorist groups of all types and nationalities, irrespective of their political, religious, or ideological origins. International terrorism is sponsored by the Soviet Union and its allies, and its activities are frequently encouraged, consciously or unwittingly, by irresponsible behavior on the part of the press and the other media of information. There is urgent need for international action to deal with what is now a serious international problem.
