Summary/Abstract: The assessment of the international security environment in a new context related to asymmetric and cross-border risks must focus on both reducing vulnerabilities and preventing or reducing the level of threats and involves consensual work at EU level through the adoption and implementation of new security strategies and standards. The European Union must constantly improve its law enforcement cooperation between Member States and to update the tools at its disposal in the fight against terrorism, without compromising the EU's common values, such as democracy, justice and freedom of expression. The subject of the article considers the importance and extent of organized crime and terrorism in the general environment of the new international security environment, the danger they pose and the response of national and international bodies involved in the prevention and sanctioning of these crimes.
