The article describes the creation of international legal norms aimed at countering terrorism, their essence and features. In addition, the article analyzes the content, achievements and shortcomings of the comprehensive draft convention “On international terrorism” and its role in modern anti-terrorist policy. Analyzing the directions and features of international cooperation within the framework of this comprehensive convention, the author focuses on issues of human rights and jurisdiction. The author extensively covers the interrelated aspects of the directions of international cooperation from a humanitarian point of view in the implementation of the mechanism of international cooperation in the fight against terrorism, citing the thoughts and opinions of various legal scholars on this issue. In conclusion, international treaties concluded on certain issues of combating terrorism should be recognized as the main source of international legal terrorism combat. Based on this, the author expressed the opinion that the draft convention “On international terrorism” should be periodically reviewed, amended and, of course, brought into line with the norms of international law in order to fill, eliminate and correct problems and gaps that may arise in the process of practical application.
