Terrorism is undoubtedly one of the most important security
problems threatening the whole world. The increase in the ability of
terrorists to access to technological opportunities and capabilities, and
their capacity to act almost anywhere aggravate the situation. For this
reason, the counter-terrorism (CT) is of great importance for countries and
international organizations, and they strive to increase their deterrence
and strengthen their defense positions against terrorism. However, not
only countries but also international organizations cannot overcome this
struggle alone. This situation makes it necessary to act jointly. Due to its
contribution to the three main tasks of the alliance, collective defense, crisis
management and cooperative security, the CT is always one of the top
priorities of NATO. In this context, NATO has made significant progress in
the field of CT, including political principles (2012), a military concept (MC)
updated in 2015 and about to be approved in 2020, education and training
plan (2015) and action plans (2014, 2017, 2018, 2019). Furthermore, NATO
has established various partnerships with other international organizations
to increase the effectiveness of CT activities.
