AB - The purpose of this paper is to survey the several causes of terrorism and then to critic the legality of terrorism. Through this course, I‘ll prepare realistic solutions for these problems.
Unlike general violence, terrorism has many moral problems because it uses radical and ruthless violence against innocent people.
Terrorism breaks out from several problems and these problems are complex and interrelate. The prime cause of terrorism emerges from globalization of new liberalism which produces unequality in the world.
According to Wilkins, terrorism is justified as a form of self-defense and just war theory. First, terrorism should be limited to the members of the community which are collectively guilty of violence. Second, as far as possible, terrorism should be confined to primary targets and not secondary targets. The problem is that these rules are realistically impossible to keep. Therefore terrorism loses justification because of indiscriminate violence and vulnerability of the innocent. Nonviolence is an efficient solution to this problem.
To solve the problems of terrorism, first we must find the essential and fundamental root of unequality and eliminate it. We take to mind the hospitality that acknowledges and respects the difference of others. We have to prepare elementary support programs and medical services for the third world. From the long term perspective, we must support the economical background so that they may develop strong industry. These efforts will provide the community of coworker and coexistence.
Also we control and negotiate conflict and strife through the justice of international law. To achieve this goal, we must respect international law and distribute equally their resources. We must solve indigence of the third world and improve human rights of the oppressed.
