This article analyzes the international legal framework for combating terrorism and the stages of its development. The author examines the evolution of international legal mechanisms for combating terrorism, dividing it into three periods: the early period (up to the 1970s), the middle period (1980-2000), and the modern period (from 2001 to the present). Important international documents adopted in each period, their significance and impact are examined in detail. The article analyzes conventions adopted within the UN framework, particularly the Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings, the Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism, and other documents. Documents adopted by regional organizations are also considered. The author identifies shortcomings in existing international legal mechanisms and proposes ways to improve them. Specifically, the adoption of new conventions on preventing radicalism and extremism, protecting human rights in the context of counter-terrorism, protecting children and youth from recruitment into terrorist organizations, and combating the spread of terrorist materials on social networks is proposed. The article substantiates the need to improve the international legal framework for combating terrorism and strengthen international cooperation in this field.
