The “international” element involved in the act or acts in question, i.e., that the motivation for the commission of such act or acts or the eventual goal of the terrorist should inextricably be linked with a country other than that in which the act or acts are committed.
Perhaps the oldest paradigm of international terrorism is piracy which has been recognized as an offence against the law of nations and which is seen commonly today in the offense of aerial piracy or hijacking.
Acts of international terrorism that have been committed over the past two decades are too numerous to mention. Suf.ce it to say, that the most deleterious effect of the offense is that it exacerbates international relations and endangers international security. From the isolated incidents of the sixties, international terrorism has progressed to becoming a concentrated assault on nations and orga-nizations that are usually susceptible to political con.ict, although politics is not always the motivation of the international terrorist. International terrorism has been recognized to engulf acts of aggression by one State on another as well as by an individual or a group of individuals of one State on another State. The former typi.es such acts as invasion, while the latter relates to such individual acts of violence as hijacking and the murder of civilians in isolated instances. In both instances, the duties of the offender-State have been emphatically recognized. Such duties are to condemn such acts and take necessary action.
The United Nations has given effect to this principle in 1970 when it proclaimed that:
Every State has the duty to refrain from organizing or encouraging the organization of irregular forces or armed bands, including mercenaries, for incursion into the territory of another State. Every State has the duty to refrain from organizing, instigating, assisting or participating in acts of civil strife or terrorist acts in another State or acquiescing in organized activities within its territory directed towards the commission of such acts, when the acts referred to in the present paragraph involve a threat or use of force.
