Terrorism constitutes a real threat to democracy, the rule of law and the enjoyment of human rights. As such it must be countered through prevention and suppression by the member States of the Council of Europe. However, poorly implemented or overly Draconian counter-terrorism measures can be counterproductive. While law enforcement operations aimed at terrorists are necessary and justified, counter-terrorism measures should not go beyond what is necessary to maintain peace and security, nor should they subvert the rule of law and democracy in the cause of trying to save it.
Many developing countries from Middle East to South America have attempted to master the process of development but have failed.
And one of the major reasons behind this is "Domestic Monopoly Power." Most of these countries are trapped in their local markets and do not open their markets internationally.

However, if they even try to open their borders, they still remain trapped in low or middle levels of income.That's why poor countries remain poor over the period of time.
