Counterterrorism

Counterterrorism refers to the laws, policies, and operational measures used to prevent, deter, and respond to terrorism. This encompasses a range of tactics and strategies employed by governments, law-enforcement agencies, intelligence services, and private-sector organizations. With a global presence, counterterrorism efforts are crucial in maintaining national security and protecting citizens from the threats of terrorism. The United States has a well-established counterterrorism framework, which includes the FBI and the CIA. Countries like Somalia and Nigeria have also been actively engaged in counterterrorism efforts, with the United Nations providing support and guidance.
