Firstly,the format of your abstract is improper. I have ask you to examine some abstracts from the readings to see how it is presented. You do not need keywords for each region. You should also combine these failures of the government to present a cohesive argument with examples from these countries.
Furthermore, the outline suggests that you are limiting yourself to the contents of readings done for the class.
Secondly,you have already answered them through your assignments and essays and at this stage it is expected that you display your knowledge by widening your scope. In all the three countries the genesis of terrorism is wider than simply the issue of government corruption.
Thirdly,the regional focus of the terrorist groups suggests a rational approach based upon geography, history and many other factors.
Moreover,the objectives of establishing a communist state in India, an Islamic Sharia government state in Nigerian and a Catholic dominate region in N Ireland further suggest reasons other than government failures are also factors in violence adopts by these groups.
Additionally,try and apply the concept of human rights to a wider perspective with examples from other countries while using these three also.
Lastly,Since terrorism is a politically driven use of violence, emphasis upon human rights by the government address the political grievances and hence diffuse the need for violence. Think about this approach.
