Terrorism as a phenomenon of the modern society threatens to jeopardize the
most important achievements of the modern society. The international
community devotes much attention to the fight against terrorism and a number
of legal instruments and standards that illustrate the basic message have
been formulated in international documents - and the message is that it is
possible to fight against terrorism effectively only if principal standards
of internationally protected human rights are fulfilled. The fight against
terrorism must never lead to the abolition of values and freedoms that are
imperiled by terrorist acts. Even if the need to impose certain restrictions
for protection of legitimate interests arouses they must be controlled, while
they should protect basic human rights and freedoms. Regulating formal
conditions for human rights limitation is the way to control the fight
against terrorism and prevent the unlimited space for violation of the
established and guaranteed freedom standards. The paper refers to the
provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental
Freedoms and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which
provide some limitations to the guaranteed human rights as well as the
limitation to their usage also exploring to what extent these restrictions
are applied in the fight against terrorism.
