IMPACT OF LAWS AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES ON COMBATING BIOLOGICAL TERRORISM

International terrorism is an international crime under international law, a crime to which every State has the right to exercise criminal jurisdiction regardless of the nationality or victim of the perpetrators.
The 1937 Convention prohibited terrorism and stated that terrorist acts include criminal acts against a State, Fear of particular persons or groups or of the public and include intentional acts directed at the life and integrity of heads of State, acts directed against a State and its integrity and acts directed against persons performing public functions or services.
Bioterrorism poses a significant threat to global security, with Interpol finding a gap in the readiness of most countries to prepare for bioterrorism. This was demonstrated by biological attacks such as anthrax attacks on the United States in 2001, where infectious diseases represent a disaster for their rapid spread from one person to another What the attack does at a specific point.
Biological weapons such as stonemason, anthrax and food and parenchyma are either disease-causing organisms such as viruses, pathogenic bacteria or toxins produced by living organisms, used to kill or destroy people or animals, or to destroy crops or plants.
With the emergence of the concept of fourth generation wars, biological weapons have become the top weapons of mass destruction that terrorist groups may resort to. They are called "the nuclear bomb of the poor" because they are easy to manufacture and cheaply cost. Deadly and destructive.
The risk is that these weapons do not require advanced means of delivery Spraying can be used in the form of quarantine, through the transmission of an infection to an animal or insect that is deployed in the target areas, in addition to being difficult to detect because it is colorless, tasteless.
Global efforts to combat these threats must be consolidated by strengthening States' early detection capabilities, addressing the indirect effects of biological weapons on important ecosystems and sectors of national economies, and raising awareness about the risks of biological warfare.
