The Suppression of terrorism in the air

The armed forces can apply combat equipment and weapons in accordance with the regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation for elimination of threat or terrorist act. If the aircraft does not respond to commands on the ground tracking and the signals hoisted the Russian aircraft to intercept or refuses to obey without explanation, the Russian armed forces deter the flight of the ship, using combat equipment and weapons, forcing him to land. In case of disobedience, and the danger of environmental catastrophe or loss of life flight of the ship is suppressed by the destruction.

Counter-Terrorism internal and external

The Normative legal acts of the Russian Federation determine the decision of the President of Russia in attracting military units of the armed forces to participate in counter-terrorism operations. Military units, units and formations of the armed forces used military equipment, special means and weapons. the The Struggle against international terrorism through the involvement of the Armed forces of the Russian Federation shall be performed in accordance with international treaties of the Russian Federation, the present Federal law with use of weapons or the territory of the Russian Federation against terrorists ' bases or outside of the Russian Federation of individuals, as well as using the armed forces beyond the country's borders.All these decisions are made personally by the President, currently Vladimir Putin.

The Fight against terrorism is most important problem of the modern world and very responsible. Therefore, the total number of armed forces of the Russian Federation, areas where it will operate, its tasks, period of stay outside the Russian Federation and other matters related to counter-terrorism beyond the borders of the Russian Federation, also decides the President personally. The Federal law on combating terrorism stipulates this provision. The military unit who are sent abroad, consists of military contractors who have completed special preliminary training, and are formed purely on a voluntary basis.

National security

Terrorism may be submitted by organizations and groups, and individuals. The national security strategy of Russian Federation until 2020 provides for any manifestations of terrorist activities. Direction can be any plan, from the violent change of the constitutional order of the Russian Federation and the disruption of the functioning of the state power to destroy industrial and military targets, as well as institutions and enterprises that provide livelihoods of the population and to intimidate companies using chemical or nuclear weapons.

The Problem of combating terrorism is that there is no consolidation of all public and government agencies to combine efforts on combating this dangerous phenomenon. Here you will not be able to effectively help any specially established counter-terrorism centres, even the intelligence services and law enforcement agencies. Need combines the activities of all agencies, branches of government, media.

Sources of terrorism

Any terrorist acts must be clearly traced to the source and frankly the causes of their occurrence. An expert survey conducted among the employees of antiterrorist divisions of FSB of the Russian Federation, revealed that the determinants (factors occurrence) of terrorism are usually the following: a sharp decrease of standard of living and degree of social. protection, political struggle and legal nihilism, the rise of separatism and nationalism, inadequate legislation, low credibility of the authorities, ill-considered decisions.

Feed the increasing terrorism, mainly the contradictions in society, social tensions, and appears where political extremism. The fight against extremism and terrorism requires the inclusion of a comprehensive program in which she will have not only political but also economic, social, ideological, legal and many other aspects. Anti-terrorist policy of the Russian Federation trying to solve the main, but only investigative tasks - the preservation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty. And it would be necessary to start with reasons.

Basics of the fight against terrorism

An Integral part of public policy - fight against terrorism in the Russian Federation, the purpose of which are, as already mentioned, the security, territorial integrity and sovereignty of the country. The main provisions of this strategy are as follows:

• The causes and conditions contributing to the emergence of terrorism and its spread must be identified and corrected;
• Individuals and organizations who are preparing for the attacks must be identified, their actions alerted and prevented;
• The entities involved in terrorist activities must be brought to responsibility according to the legislation of Russia;
• Power and tools to prevent, detect, warnings of terrorist activity, minimisation and liquidation of consequences of terrorist attacks should be maintained in constant readiness for their use;
• Places of a mass congestion of people, important objects of life-support and infrastructure needs to be provided anti-terrorist security;
• The ideology of terrorism must not be allowed to spread, and the work of the advocacy provision should be accelerated.

Security Measures

Objects that can be targeted in a terrorist operation, have recently become much better equipped with engineering and technical means of protection, also employees of security companies has significantly increased its level of training. Nevertheless, anti-terrorist protection of places where mass are people still clearly insufficient, as there were no uniform requirements for this purpose.

In 2013, October 22, the Federal law on antiterrorist security of objectsentered into force. Now the Government under this document receives the right to establish obligatory for all physical persons and legal entities of requirements of antiterrorist protection of objects, areas. The requirements relate to their category, control on the implementation of the requirements of the form of a safety passport. Excluded from these objects only transport infrastructure, vehicles and fuel-energy complex where the anti-terrorist protection is built much more rigidly.

A global threat

Terrorist organizations are active in Russia, often with the participation and under the supervision of foreign nationals who trained abroad and financially supported by sources related to international terrorism. According to FSB of the Russian Federation, in 2000 in Chechnya was about three thousand foreign fighters. The armed forces of Russia in the fighting 1999-2001, killed more than thousands of foreigners from Arab countries: Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt, UAE, Jordan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Tunisia, Kuwait, Tajikistan, Turkey, Syria, and Algeria.

In recent years, international terrorism has intensified to the extent of the global threat. In Russia it is linked to the creation of the National antiterrorist Committee (NAC). This collegial body that coordinates the activities of the Executive branch of both Federal and of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, local self-government, and preparing appropriate proposals to the President of the Russian Federation. The NAC was established under the Decree on combating terrorism of 2006. The Committee is chaired by the Director of FSB of the Russian Federation General of the army A. V. Bortnikov. It's almost all the heads of security agencies, government departments and chambers of the Russian Parliament.

The Main tasks of the NAC

1. Preparation of proposals to the President of the Russian Federation concerning the formation of state policy and improvement of legislation in the field of counter-terrorism.
2. Coordinate all anti-terrorist activities of Federal Executive bodies, commissions in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, the interaction of these structures with the local government, public organizations and associations.
3. Identifying measures to eliminate the causes and conditions conducive to terrorism and protect facilities from potential attacks.

The Terror of the North Caucasus

In recent years, the authorities have made considerable efforts to normalize the situation in the North Caucasus Federal district, implementing measures against terrorism. In December 2014, the Director of the FSB Alexander Bortnikov said the result of the coordination of preventive and law enforcement operations of terrorist offences was three times less in comparison with the same period of 2013: 218 offences against 78.

However, the tension of the situation in the region is still high - active and North Caucasian bandit underground, and international terrorism despite direct participation in combat of all law enforcement bodies, power structures and special services. Events of operational and combat are identified, prevented, repressed, reveal and investigate terrorist acts. So, for 2014, special services and law enforcement agencies have prevented 59 terrorist crimes and eight impending terrorist attacks. Thirty people associated with the bandit underground, managed to persuade to renounce terror.

When to persuade cannot

To combat terrorism there is a set of operational, special, military and other events, when used in military equipment, weapons and special means to prevent a terrorist act, to disarm militants, ensure the safety of people, institutions and organizations and minimize the consequences of a terrorist attack. Here, the involved forces and means of bodies of FSB together with the generated grouping, the composition of which can Fund and units of the armed forces and the Federal bodies of Executive power in charge of defence, security, internal Affairs, civil defence, justice, emergency situations and many others.

As a result of such powerful counter-terrorism operations in the North Caucasus in 2014 were neutralized 233 bandit, of which 38 leaders. 637 detained members of illegal armed groups. Withdrawn from illegal circulation of explosive devices 272, a lot of firearms and other weapons. Law enforcement agencies investigating terrorist acts in 2014 brought to trial 219 of the criminal cases in which offenders received a criminal punishment, among them four by terrorist attacks in Volgograd.

Terror and international relations

Cross-border terrorism - the most dangerous form of crime. Modern realities have turned it into a factor of destabilization of international relations. The terrorist attacks on the use of weapons of mass destruction (nuclear weapons) are a serious threat tothe existence of all humanity. And the world community to force the ambitions of its individual members cannot even be defined in exact terms relating to this phenomenon, although in General, and has developed a joint understanding of the main components of this phenomenon.

First of all, terrorism is illegal violence with weapons, the desire to intimidate the public in the widest layers of the population, it is the innocent victim. If a terrorist attack affects the interests of more than one country, there is, of course, and contains an international element. The political orientation of the international community does not consider feature of international terrorism, oddly enough. However, in recent years, when he is incredibly strong worldwide, the Committee of the UN General Assembly, is trying again to begin work on a definition for international terrorism.

The Role of Russia in the world community

The Russian Federation is very consistent in the way of unification of efforts in struggle against terror. She was always for the removal of barriers - religious, ideological, political and any other - between States confronting terrorist crimes, the main thing - the organization of effective resistance to all forms of terrorism.

As the successor of the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation contributes to the existing universal agreements on the fight. From its members come all the constructive initiatives they make the most significant contribution to theoretical development of new agreements, and practical solutions for creating a common international anti-terrorist front.
