From 2020 to 2021, Afghanistan was the country that recorded the largest decrease of deaths caused by terrorism. The decrease of nearly 900 incidents must be seen in relation with Taliban taking power in the country, meaning that their activities no longer fall under the definition of terrorism. Niger and Iraq recorded the second and third highest decrease respectively.

Terrorism is the systematic use of terror, especially as a means of coercion. In the international community, however, terrorism has no universally agreed, legally binding, criminal law definition. Common definitions of terrorism refer only to those violent acts which are intended to create fear (terror), are perpetrated for a religious, political or ideological goal, and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants (civilians).
