  The widespread use of drones by the United States to fight al-Qaeda and Taliban terrorist groups in countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks quickly challenged the legitimacy of targeted killings by drones in the light of international law.

  Waters of the South and Southeast Asia have long been some of the most important hotspots for various sea-based organized crimes. As a result of the continuously rising threat of terrorism and its spread all around the world, along with the access of terrorist groups to more efficient and modern military equipments, the danger of terrorism has become more imminent and widespread, taking many forms and finding its way to the seas. Maritime terrorism, especially within regions where other maritime crimes are prevalent, is considered, because of the probable links between the offenders, as one of the most serious threats against peace and security at seas. Considering the organized nature of these crimes, effective suppression of them is only possible through collective and cooprative initiatives. Thus, regional organizations have an undeniably important role in combating maritime terrorism. This article, using the descriptive-analytical method, aims to assess the performance and function of a selected number of regional organizations active within South and Southeast Asia and to examine their achievements and shortcomings, as well as their challenges, in combating maritime terrorism. This article concludes that the activities of these organizations have been essential but insufficient, and the most important challenge ahead is lack of collective strategies at the regional level.

  Terrorism has become one of the most important issues in today's world community. Although there is no specific definition for it, this does not diminish the importance of this issue. In recent decades, a wide range of terrorist acts have been committed in the world and in Iran. According to the research, the most important question of the present dissertation is: What is the basis of the government's responsibility for compensation for terrorist incidents? The hypothesis that arises from the heart of the main question is: It seems that the main basis of the government's responsibility for compensation for terrorist acts is the theory of fault. Victims of terrorist incidents must first prove the government's negligence or failure to ensure public order and security so that they can turn to the government and claim damages from terrorist incidents, and then compensate the victims materially and spiritually through insurance or charities. And provide the necessary medical support and during the proceedings, by providing the necessary facilities and guarantees to file a lawsuit, pave the way for the victims of these incidents to achieve their rights, and take the necessary measures to prevent re-victimization, consolation and creating a sense of security. Explaining the civil liability of the government and the concept of terrorist acts and finally identifying ways to compensate the government for terrorist acts is one of the most important objectives of the present study Manuscript profile
