Criteria

clear all

Criterion I: The act must be aimed at attaining a political, economic, religious, or social goal. Would you like your search results to require Criterion I to be met?

Criterion II: There must be evidence of an intention to coerce, intimidate, or convey some other message to a larger audience (or audiences) than the immediate victims. Would you like your search results to require Criterion II to be met?

Criterion III: The action must be outside the context of legitimate warfare activities, i.e. the act must be outside the parameters permitted by international humanitarian law (particularly the admonition against deliberately targeting civilians or non-combatants). Would you like your search results to require Criterion III be met?

In certain cases there may be some uncertainty whether or not an incident meets all of the criteria for inclusion as a GTD terrorist incident. What would you like your search results to include?

The GTD includes attacks that were attempted but not successfully carried out. What would you like your search results to include?
