This research analyzes the state's responsibility in dealing with criminal acts of transnational terrorism committed through cyberterrorism using new media. Indonesia, as a sovereign country, has the responsibility to maintain national security and contribute to global security as mandated in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Terrorism, especially in the form of cyberterrorism, poses a significant threat that requires serious action and a strong legal response. Cyberterrorism is the use of information and communication technology to carry out terrorist attacks that cause physical, psychological or economic damage. This phenomenon requires countries to increase their cyber capacity to detect and prevent these attacks. In the context of international law, state obligations regarding terrorism are regulated by the UN and various international conventions, such as the 1999 International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism. States are responsible for preventing, punishing, and providing reparations for victims of terrorism. In a national perspective, the Law of Indonesian Terrorism emphasizes that the state must provide medical assistance, psychosocial rehabilitation, and compensation to victims. This research finds that terrorism is a global threat that requires a strong legal response from the state, both in the national and international context. Countries must also develop a comprehensive legal framework to deal with cyber terrorism and ensure protection for victims. This research is expected to contribute to the development of effective policies and laws in dealing with the threat of transnational terrorism and cyberterrorism, as well as increasing protection for citizens.
