A BRIEF DISCUSSION OF THE PROBLEM PRESENTED BY THE INCREASE IN TERRORIST ACTS INVOLVING POLITICAL FIGURES OR UNDERLYING POLITICAL MOTIVATIONS, AND OF AMERICAN AND INTERNATIONAL ATTEMPTS TO CONTROL POLITICAL TERRORISM. |
| Abstract:
|
IN THE UNITED STATES A TENDENCY IS SEEN TO RESORT TO POLITICAL VIOLENCE IN TIME OF SOCIAL AND POLITICAL TURMOIL. THE PERMEABILITY OF NATIONAL BOUNDARIES AND THE WILLINGNESS OF MANY COUNTRIES TO CONDONE VIOLENCE FOR POLITICAL CAUSES WHICH THEY ESPOUSE ARE BOTH CONDUCIVE TO INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM. MEDIA COVERAGE ADDS IMPACT TO THE ACTS AND MAY SERVE TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS. UNILATERAL AND MULTILATERAL EFFORTS TO CONTROL SKYJACKING ARE OUTLINED. AN INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION ON THE PROTECTION OF DIPLOMATS, WITH PROVISIONS FOR EXTRADITION AND PROSECUTION, IS URGED, AS WELL AS INCREASED USE OF INTERPOL AS A VEHICLE FOR INTERNATIONAL POLICE COOPERATION. RELATED UNITED NATIONS ACTIVITIES ARE REVIEWED, AND CONSIDERATION OF THE POLITICAL ISSUES WHICH PROMPT TERRORISM IS SUGGESTED. |
