呢個詞彙頗具爭議，因為點樣定義恐怖主義本身喺學術同政治上都係充滿咗爭議，宣告某個國家涉及國家恐怖主義，會涉及到國際政治上嘅各種外交判斷。
The term is controversial because the definition of terrorism itself is full of academic and political controversy, and declaring that a country is involved in state terrorism involves various diplomatic judgments in international politics.
