Seemingly sporadic and uneven attempts to intimidate citizens and their legitimate political representatives have “overnight” become a tool for conducting a particular kind of war, i.e. a special warfare. Consequently, it is necessary terrorism to be considered as a global phenomenon and threat that, due to its continuous operation, acquires all the characteristics of a guerrilla warfare. The variety of forms in which acts of terrorism are manifested and a number of terrorist organizations contribute to a difficult way of keeping fighting for their suppression or at least bringing them at the “tolerable” level. In regard to all these facts, it is necessary to direct future activities in the direction of a general resistance to all forms of terrorism, which many countries, led by the international community, really do. It is obvious that there is a large number of definitions of terrorism and terrorist organizations, depending on the point of view from which this planetary phenomenon and global evil is observed. It is necessary to point out the usage of different criteria, ranging from security, politicological, criminal law, criminological, sociological and the other ones, by which the phenomenon of terrorism is treated and conceptually determined. Taking into account the specificities of a different treatment of terrorism, the authors decided, by using all available resources, to highlight all the negative effects which this planetary phenomenon makes the human society, either through conducting a special war or through its particular form. Rezime: Terorizam je poslednjih decenija prerastao iz akutnog u hronični problem sa kojim se susreće čitava međunarodna zajednica. Naoko sporadični i neujednačeni pokušaji zastrašivanja građana i njihovih legitimnih političkih predstavnika, „preko noći“ postaju oruđe za vođenje posebnog, odnosno specijalnog rata. Sledstveno tome, terorizam je neophodno posmatrati kao globalni fenomen i pretnju koja, usled svog kontinuiranog delovanja, poprima sva obeležja gerilskog načina ratovanja. Bogatstvo formi u kojima se ispoljavaju teroristički akti i veliki broj terorističkih organizacija doprinose otežanom načinu vođenja borbe za njihovo suzbijanje ili bar dovođenje na „podnošljivu“ meru. U tom smislu, neophodno je usmeriti buduće aktivnosti u pravcu sveopšteg pružanja otpora svim vidovima terorizma, što veliki broj država, na čelu sa međunarodnom zajednicom zaista i čini. Uočljivo je prisustvo velikog broja definicija terorizma i terorističkih organizacija u zavisnosti od aspekta iz kojih se ova planetarna pojava i globalno zlo posmatra. Neophodno je ukazati na korišćenje različitih kriterijuma, počev od bezbednosnih, politikoloških, krivičnopravnih, kriminoloških, socioloških i sl., kojima se tretira i pojmovno određuje fenomen terorizma. Uvažavajući specifičnosti različitog tretiranja terorizma, autor ovoga rada je odlučio da, koristeći se dostupnim izvorima, ukaže na sve negativne efekte koje ova planetarna pojava čini ljudskom društvu, kroz vođenje ili oblik specijalnog rata. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode 2013 https://unilib.phaidrabg.rs/o:2368 srp Pravo - teorija i praksa vol. 30 br. 10-12 str. 55-67 Joksić, Ivan Bojić, Borislav Rajaković, Vesna
