 Terrorism is the systematic
use of terror especially as a
means of coercion.
 The word "terror" was
derived from the Latin
word-terrere , meaning “to
frighten”.
 Terrorism has been
practiced by a broad array
of political organizations for
furthering their objectives.
1) Civil disorder 
2) Political
terrorism 
3) Non-Political
terrorism 
4) Quasi-terrorism 
5) Limited political
terrorism 
6) Official or state
terrorism
 Human rights are “rights and freedoms to
which all humans are entitled.”

 Human rights are relevant to terrorism as it

concerns both, its victims and its
perpetrators. The innocent victims of
terrorism suffer an attack on their most basic
right to live in peace and security.
International
and National
Perspective
International attention became focused on
terrorism with the attack on The World Trade
Centre twin towers and The Pentagon on
September 11, 2001. Since it was the first
time that such attacks were experienced by
the U S A on its surface, it shook up the entire
country from the President downwards. 
WORLD TRADE CENTRE ATTACK
The attacks on The
Parliament on December
13,2001; the Mumbai train
blasts on July 11,2006; the 26
November 2008, Mumbai
attack and the rising Naxal
and Maoist attacks have all
shocked the nation time and
again.
 The 13 December 2001, Indian
Parliament attack was a high-
profile attack by Lashkar-e-
Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad
terrorists against the building
housing the Parliament of
India in New Delhi.
 The attack led to the death of
a dozen people (5 terrorists, 6
police and 1 civilian) and to
increased tensions
between India and Pakistan
and the 2001-2002 India-
Pakistan standoff.
 The 11 July 2006 Mumbai train
bombings were a series of seven bomb blasts
that took place over a period of 11 minutes
on the Suburban Railway in Mumbai.
 A state of high alert was declared in India's
major cities. Both the airports in Mumbai
were placed on high alert. The western line
of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network
was at first shut down, infringing on personal
rights and privacy of the people.

 Every law restricts some rights. Some laws restrict even
human rights as defined by the United Nations. we have to
understand that every act of terrorism infringes on the
human rights of the people. We also have to accept that
laws restrict rights of the people, necessarily or
unnecessarily. But we have to be clear that we have to
define terrorism in the context of our country and have to
devise temporary limitations on the rights of the people.
International pressures may land us in situations which
may push us into the lap of self appointed Inspectors of
the world who need our markets and resources and are
therefore keen to point out 'identity of interests' in
fighting 'international terrorism'.
