摘要：Narco-terrorism has become a major international problem in the last decades because as a symbiosis of drugs distribution and the politically motivated violence undermine national security, public health and personal liberties. It encompasses the challenges which do not have globally accepted interpretation, even on the phenomenology level, and that the previous counter actions and strategies aren’t producing satisfactory answers. The goal of the article is to phenomenologically bring closer the concept and the challenges of narco-terrorism, to represent its features, analyze the main approaches to countering the narco-terrorism and to offer the suggestions to improve the existing response mechanisms. In this effort three main theses will be used. Firstly, the drug trafficking is the largest global illegal market, while the terrorism is generally marked as the dominant security threat of the current time. Secondly, the connection between the smugglers and drug traffickers and the terrorist groups represents the potentially greater polyvalent threat than ever before, as the money acquired in the drug trafficking is invested in the organizing and financing terrorist groups. Thirdly, the existing strategies, measures and actions of suppressing the drug trafficking and terrorism are not on satisfactory level and if there is no global turn in the response regimes soon, the narco-terrorism will, in the near future, produce much larger consequences than the simple sum of the individual drug trafficking and terrorism.
