The human cost of terrorism has been felt in virtually every corner of the globe. The United Nations family has itself suffered tragic human loss as a result of violent terrorist acts. The attack on its offices in Baghdad on August 2003 claimed the lives of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, Sergio Vieira de Mello, and 21 other men and women, and injured over 150 others, some very seriously. Terrorism clearly has a very real and direct impact on human rights, with devastating consequences for the enjoyment of the right to life, liberty and physical integrity of victims. In addition to these individual costs, terrorism can destabilize governments, undermine civil society, jeopardize peace and security, and threaten social and economic development. All of these also have a real impact on the enjoyment of human rights.

Security of the individual is a basic human right and the protection of individuals is, accordingly, a fundamental obligation of government. States therefore have an obligation to ensure the human rights of their nationals and others by taking positive measures to protect them against the threat of terrorist acts and bringing the perpetrators of such acts to justice.

In recent years, however, the measures adopted by States to counter terrorism have themselves often posed serious challenges to human rights and the rule of law. Some States have engaged in torture and other ill-treatment to counter terrorism, while the legal and practical safeguards available to prevent torture, such as regular and independent monitoring of detention centres have often been disregarded.

The United Nations is an international organisation universally respected for its role as a peace maker.

A criação da ABIN, em 1995, proporcionou ao Estado brasileiro institucionalizar a atividade de inteligência, mediante ações de coordenação do fluxo de informações necessárias às decisões de governo, no que diz respeito ao aproveitamento de oportunidades, aos antagonismos e às ameaças, reais ou potenciais, para os mais altos interesses da sociedade e do país.

Em 2002, o Congresso Nacional, por meio da Comissão Mista de Controle das Atividades de Inteligência, promoveu o seminário "Atividades de Inteligência no Brasil: Contribuições para a Soberania e para a Democracia", com a participação de autoridades governamentais, parlamentares, acadêmicos, pesquisadores e profissionais da área de inteligência. A contribuição do evento foi significativa para o aprofundamento das discussões acerca da atividade de inteligência no Brasil.
