Global terrorism

Terrorism is the most important modern day problem, but no definition has been made by states about terrorism. So, the events that enter the status of terrorist incident are selected randomly.

There is no list of terrorist organizations. The main reason for this is the lack of definition of terrorism. A general agreement prohibiting terrorism should be made to make the definition. This is impossible nowadays because there are terrorist organizations supported by some states. Supporting states do not want to enter into this agreement. Such an agreement can limit the political and economic power of the state. The absence of a definition does not indicate an explanation. UN's statement of terrorism, Article published by the General Assembly in 1994 “Criminal acts that are made for political reasons, which will create an atmosphere of fear in the whole or part of the society; it cannot be justified by political, philosophical, ideological, ethnic, racial, religious or any justification. ” According to this statement, all actions that restrict the freedom of a community are terrorism. The feature of terrorist acts until the end of the 20th century is that it usually targets governments.

The killing of the Austro-Hungarian heir Ferdinand, the US President John F. Kennedy and the Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi are examples. Today,  these actions have turned into actions that will have an impact on society, not on an individual basis. After the September 11 attacks, international terrorism turned its actions towards the society rather than individuals. For example, while the loss of life was 25 in 17 terrorist acts that took place in the Asian continent in 1992, the loss of life in 16 actions in 1995 was 5,639. On September 11, 2001, 2,974 people lost their lives in the attacks on the World Trade Center with aircraft. Terrorism has become an inevitable widespread problem today. We need big agreement for solution.

WHAT IS MODERN SLAVERY?

Nearly all people in the are talking about “MODERN SLAVERY”so what is it.

First I want to talk about what is slavery where did it start and when did it start. Slavery is any system in which principles of property law are applied to people, allowing individuals to own, buy and sell other individuals, as a good. A slave is unable to withdraw unilaterally from such an arrangement and works without any payment and slavery started in America throughout the 17th and 18th centuries people were kidnapped from the continent of Africa, forced into slavery in the American colonies and exploited to work as indentured servants and labor in the production of crops such as tobacco and cotton and following the Union victory in the Civil War, slavery was made illegal in the United States upon the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment in December 1865.

However today slavery is not finish completely and unfortunately some people made to work in bad conditions and they are getting lower payment than a normal worker or getting no payment thus working this conditions made them a slave in modern life and this is called modern slavery

So what are the reasons why people turn into a modern slave.

Firstly I want to talk about wars that affect people lives deeply, during the war people lost their family ,friends and their homes as a result of these people do not know what will they do and some of them were cheated to live in better places or they were promised to find out their families
