Sažetak
In today’s globalized society, the Internet plays an important role for the purposes of recruitment, training, radicalization, planning, preparation, support and execution of terrorist activities. Terrorism is a serious violation of fundamental human rights and freedoms and a major problem for national security in almost all the countries of the world, but also for the international security. The goal of this paper is to shed light on some of these processes and analyze the existing ways of countering this complex phenomenon. We have started the analysis of the relationship between the Internet, as a new technological solution which terrorists successfully use for their own purposes, and the counter-terrorist struggle in all its forms, from the experiential, technical, theoretical, legal, ethical and operational aspects. A number of initiatives have been launched aimed at countering the use of the Internet for terrorist purposes ; however, terrorists are still using it very intensely and effectively for their needs, while the number of its users is growing daily at an ever faster rate. Given this situation, additional initiatives and cooperation in addressing this problem are needed that must include experts from the practice, academics, religious groups, nongovernmental organizations, the media, policy makers, while connecting public and private sectors, as well as encouraging social partnership, international cooperation and exchange of best practices.
