"This set is a unique initiative of providing the most comprehensive coverage to the subject area in question. Today, the issue of terrorism has attracted global attention and no one can claim that this problem does not concern him her in one form or the other. The encyclopaedia attempts to provide readers with various legal options to tackle today\'s most serious problem of terrorism, which questions the very existence of humanity in some way or the other.

This encyclopedia is designed to serve the purpose of a complete reference set on the subject area of laws related to terrorism , counter-terrorism, anti-terrorism, neo-terrorism, bio-terrorism, nuclear-terrorism, chemical-terrorism, cyber-terrorism, etc. Laws in the forms of international conventions, regional instruments, national legislations, acts are covered. Related United Nations resolutions, regional regulations and national bills are also dealt with in detail. Similarly, the focus lies on various relevant policies, initiatives, action plans, strategies, reports, hearings, briefings, case-laws, executive orders, decisions and declarations.

As such the encyclopedia provides its readers with a comprehensive listing of anti-terrorism legislations at international, regional and national levels. It is in this context that the whole encyclopedia is divided into three parts.

These aforementioned anti-terrorism legislations adopted at various levels include all types of laws and guidelines passed and recommended with the purported aim of fighting terrorism in various forms and the factors responsible for promoting it.

However, the way terrorism has risen and the intensity at which it is spreading its wings all over the world, there is no option left but to frame the strongest possible anti-terrorism laws at various levels, including national, regional and international.

As such this is a "must possess" set for the armed forces personnel, diplomats, anti-terror experts strategists, policy makers, security analysts, judges, advocates, scholars and NGOs." (jacket)
