Legal, political and ideological differences between the creators of certain administrative definition of terrorism, represented a problem in finding a unified position of the international community on the constituent characteristics of the general criminal offence of terrorism, which would make it impossible to avoid the existence of the criminal prosecution of the perpetrators of these crimes, going to a country where it is not, or the second a narrower way relevant. Build effective legal mechanisms for the prevention and punishment of terrorist activities in the framework of international organizations, therefore, predominantly characterized by a sectoral approach to defining terrorism, which does not define the concept of terrorism, but individual terrorist acts defined as punishable, thus avoiding the creation of a single definition.
