The authors examine the main problems regarding the development of international legal framework in the area of fighting terrorism, including the elaboration of the universal definition of the phenomenon of “terrorism” and “international terrorism”. The analysis of legal systems of the leading countries indicates the differences in national legislations in the sphere of fighting terrorism, which creates difficulties on the global scale, since each state has the own representation on this phenomenon, and thus, the means of counteraction. Such gaps in the international law is beneficial for the United State to ensure national interests. The main conclusions lie in the thesis that the global community is currently incapable of developing the unified normative-legal base in the area of fighting terrorism, namely in pertains to consolidation of the universal definition of this phenomenon within the framework of the United Nations. Among the main reasons, the authors highlight the problem of cooperation of the national legal systems on the global scale in this sphere, as well as unwillingness of some countries to fulfill prior commitments.
