Abstract
At the present moment the international community has developed a multilevel system of coordinated and immediate counteractions, capable of eliminating any terrorist threats and challenges. However, spate and high rate of terrorist activities raise the question of the essence, possibility of preventive measures, effectiveness and prospects of current international cooperation on suppression of acts of terrorism. There is a wide-spread opinion that the international community is incapable of establishing mechanism on the basis of international law for suppression of modern acts of terrorism. The research of the specificity of states cooperation partially proves this opinion: modern system of counterterrorism cooperation is a limited mechanism. The article contains analysis of modern theoretical and practical aspects of international legal counterterrorism cooperation, and prospects for further development in the context of new threats and challenges.
