Abstract

This article discusses the role of global multilateralism in combating transnational terrorism. Modern terrorism has evolved beyond physical violence to include transnational networks that utilize technology, social media, and global ideology. In the face of this complexity, a multilateral approach is a crucial strategy because it enables cooperation between countries in the exchange of intelligence information, harmonization of legal policies, and collective action through international institutions such as the UN, INTERPOL, and the FATF. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, this article examines the effectiveness of multilateralism through case studies of ISIS and Al-Qaeda. The results show that multilateralism has significantly contributed to limiting the scope for terrorist groups to operate, although challenges such as political inequality and limited coordination remain obstacles. This article emphasizes that multilateralism is not just a diplomatic tool, but a strategic necessity in building a sustainable global system for countering terrorism.
