SYSTEM OF COUNTER-TERRORISM AUTHORITIES IN RUSSIA AND CERTAIN FOREIGN STATES

Abstract

There is not a single state in the whole world whose leadership would not be aware of the danger posed by terrorism and would not make efforts to form a system of anti-terrorist measures. The article analyzes the system of counter-terrorism agencies in Russia and in some foreign countries. Cardinal reforms in law enforcement, law enforcement agencies and services are discussed immediately after major terrorist attacks in the countries under study. There are similar features in the functioning of the systems of counter-terrorism agencies in Russia, the United States and Israel. The article analyzes the Global Terrorism Index in dynamics for 2014–2020, on the basis of which it is concluded that US government programs to combat terrorism have not yielded the desired results in protecting the constitutional rights and freedoms of man and citizen. It is shown that due to the active interaction of law enforcement agencies (special services, army, police) in Russia and Israel, there is a positive dynamics of anti-terrorist activity.
