Abstract

Terrorism in all its forms constitutes a grave threat to the international peace and security.
The EU considers itself a key player in countering terrorism, with a broad number of relevant activities and instruments crossing the internal-external divide of EU competences. On the external side, initiatives encompass enhanced cooperation with international bodies, stemming the flow of terrorist financing, strengthening international intelligence sharing, and working with third countries to dismantle terrorist infrastructures through capacity-building to raise local competence.
The Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) has been at the forefront in its efforts to deal with domestic, regional & international terrorism. It has been an important concern of the OIC. The OIC has repeatedly taken position that the subject of International and regional terrorism needs to be reviewed comprehensively.
Based on legal and international instruments, as the major question, I want to compare the views, definitions and strategies of the EU & OIC concerning the International Terrorism. Which are the common points and which are the differences?
