International Terrorism
After the attacks against the United States on 11 September 2001, ICG launched a major new project on international terrorism, designed to both bring together ICG's work in existing program areas (notably in Central Asia, Sudan, Algeria, Indonesia, the Balkans and Colombia) while establishing a new geographical focus on the Middle East and West Asia. A Middle East regional office was established in Amman, and a new Afghanistan/South Asia project, was established in Islamabad.
The aim is to primarily address longer-term issues, which go to building sustainable international defences against terrorism - achieving stable states and regions, and addressing underlying grievances. Particular focus is placed on the interests and responsibilities of the major powers, and how they interact with those of the states and regions in questions.
Relevant ICG reports, briefings and articles on International Terrorism are listed below, alternatively if you are looking for a specific document use the search option at the top of this page.
