The UN and British government also have their own definitions. The document examines key elements of terrorism, such as it being a tactic to influence audiences beyond the immediate victims, and how terrorists seek publicity through violence.

Terrorism involves the use or threat of violence for political purposes. It is committed by non-state actors and targets civilians to achieve political goals through fear and coercion. Key criteria for defining terrorism include the use or threat of violence, targeting of non-combatants, and perpetration for a political, religious, or ideological goal rather than financial gain. Terrorism has global impacts through instilling widespread fear and psychological trauma. It employs various tactics like bombings, shootings, and propaganda to maximize publicity. Responses to terrorism involve increased security measures, military action, intelligence gathering, and criminal law enforcement.
