1. State-sponsored terrorism

   State-sponsored terrorism is terrorist violence carried out with the active support of national governments provided to violent non-state actors. States can sponsor terrorist groups in several ways, including but not limited to funding terrorist organizations, providing training, supplying weapons, providing other logistical and intelligence assistance, and hosting groups within their borders. Because of the pejorative nature of the word, the identification of particular examples are often subject to political dispute and different definitions of terrorism. A wide variety of states in both developed and developing areas of the world have engaged in sponsoring terrorism. During the 1970s and 1980s, state sponsorship of terrorism was a frequent feature of international conflict. From that time to the 2010s there was a steady pattern of decline in the prevalence and magnitude of state support. Nevertheless, because of the increasing consequent level of violence that it could potentially facilitate, it remains an issue of highly salient international concern.

1. state-sponsored terrorism

   State-sponsored terrorism is a type of political violence where a sovereign or officially recognized national government provides funding, resources, training, or other forms of support to non-state terrorist entities. This support can be explicit or implicit, and may include direct participation in terrorist activities, sheltering or safe haven to the terrorists or simple negligence to act against such organizations operating within the country’s boundaries. These actions are often covert and deniable to avoid international condemnation or retaliation.
