Peace

Question

Describe with an example the rise of terrorism as a response to aggressive states.

Answer

The rise of terrorism is partly a response to the self-serving and ham-handed conduct of the aggressive states.

(i)Terrorists currently pose a great threat to peace through an adroit and ruthless use of modern weapons and advanced technology more generally.

(ii)Examples: The demolition of the World Trade Centre (New York, USA) by Islamic militants on 9September 2001 was a striking manifestation of this sinister reality.

(iii)The use of biological/chemical/nuclear weapons of mass destruction by these forces remains a frightening possibility.

(iv)The global community has failed to curb the rapacity of the domineering powers and the guerrilla tactics of the terrorists.
