The international responsibility of states for terrorism and its financing

In the sphere of international law, governments have an obligation to prevent
and combat terrorism related crimes and not to support or sponsor these crimes.
A government that directly or indirectly commits, sponsors or indulges in
terrorism related crimes will be held liable by internal law. Any support for
terrorism, whether directly or indirect, according to international conventions is
prohibited. Apportioning/holding the government responsible internationally
according to civil and criminal acts for which the terrorism act was committed
can be an appropriate response to this state sponsored terrorism. This article
analysis the international responsibility of governments for acts of terrorism and
its financing. The present article has been written by descriptive-analytical
method and based on written documents and sources and its information has
been sourced through journals, books and articles available in the library through
research. The present study concludes that with the spread of government
sponsored terrorism and other international crimes enormous death rates and
destruction of property, environment and livelihoods is witnessed. These losses
left by them, including targeting the vital interests of governments harms the
threat of international peace and security. Most of the countries in the world
understand the need to implement and apply the theory of international criminal
justice. The governments have come to believe that the positive results of such
an approach and realised that the benefits far outweigh the possible negative consequences to combat international crime. And this is possible only by
accepting and implementing strategies to protect and insulate from such criminal
acts. The responsibility of the governments and individuals in accepting criminal
liability should be objective. And hold groups and individuals who commit such
crimes responsible.
