ABSTRACT
State-sponsored terrorism presents a unique loophole to international legal framework, security, and accountability. This article examines the concept of what is terrorism backed by state actors, its impact on targeted nations and its civilians, and the existing voids in international and domestic legal frameworks. With the help of case studies and global responses, the article highlights the limitations of current international law in addressing state- sponsored acts of terror and also the limitations on countries and their policies to prevent such act. Furthermore, it explores the social, political, and economic consequences of such actions and proposes potential pathways to strengthen legal mechanisms for prevention, prosecution, and global cooperation.
