Terrorismo internacional: a possibilidade de um ataque terrorista internacional: lições aprendidas pelo Brasil e seus Legados, no campo do antiterrorismo, após os grandes eventos

Abstract

Terrorism is a complex phenomenon that has been ravaging the world since ancient times, being usually applied by weaker agents against stronger ones, in order to make them comply with their political demands. And it will be studied in this work as a method, straying away from specific fundamentalist matrices. From 2013 to 2016, Brazil was responsible for holding the so called Greats Events. Having to properly prepare for a possible confrontation with terrorism, an anti-terrorist structure was set up an evolved through about ten years of preparation. Despite the fact that Brazil was already signatory to several international agreements, a specific legal structure was signed just before Rio 2016’s Olympic and Paralympic Games, through the Anti- Terrorism Law, which, in spite of its delay, has proved to be a breakthrough, as it made it possible to typify terrorism. Therefore, Brazil that was not previously on the “map” of terrorism, has begun to have this perception changed, since there were already signs that terrorist organizations would seek the adherence of Young radical Muslim Brazilians to carry out attacks in national territory, as it was the case throughout the Hashtag and Atila Operations of the Federal Police. Three years after the last Great Event, the structure is undone and the knowledge obtained remains “numb”, which causes Brazil to have a degraded anti-terrorism capability. The negative impacts on the countries in which the terrorist threats became concrete, reinforce the need for a permanently activated structure in Brazil, to proceed on its counterterrorism capabilities, under the same conditions of Rio’s 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Aiming to make the country able to host once more events of great international appeal inside national territory with safety
