International terrorism is rightly regarded as one of the greatest threats to world security and stability. Terrorist attacks that have occurred in recent years around the world have highlighted the need for a comprehensive approach. Formulation of the problem is a prerequisite for successful work, but the main problem is that there is no single definition of terrorism. View on possible definitions and important concepts are mentioned in this article.

Keywords: terrorism; definition; concepts
