Counter-Terrorism Terrorism and counter-terrorist responses typically have been related to nationalist and self-determination movements, where inequities and injustice are rooted in the historical or colonial experience. The difficulty and frustration associated with countering terrorism, or even finding the terrorists has prompted states to adopt broad measures to drain the pond to catch the fish. Political violence and terrorism fall into a gray area that may entail both foreign and domestic threats to state security. www.flashpoints.info /issue_briefings/Counter-Terrorism/Counter-Terrorism-_main.htm   (3546 words)

India's counter-terrorism strategy This is largely because of Pakistan's policy of using terrorism as a weapon to keep the Indian security forces bleeding and pre-occupied with internal security duties and Bangladesh's tolerance of the activities of terrorists from its territory. In the first part of his analysis on terrorism, B Raman discussed its causes, the distinctions between religious and non-religious terrorist groups, their sources of funding and their sanctuaries. 9/11 brought the realisation that terrorism is an absolute evil whatever be the cause and that unless the intelligence agencies of the world network themselves as effectively as the terrorist organisations, they might not be able to eradicate this menace. www.rediff.com /news/2003/apr/05spec.htm   (1999 words)

Terrorism While condemning terrorism unequivocally and recognizing the duty of States to protect those living within their jurisdictions from terrorism, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has placed a priority on the question of protecting human rights in the context of counter-terrorism measures. OHCHR action on the issue of human rights and terrorism is guided in part by General Assembly resolution 58/187 (2003) and Commission on Human Rights resolution 2003/68 ("Protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism"). Although they share in the unequivocal condemnation of terrorism, they voice profound concern at the multiplication of policies, legislation and practices increasingly being adopted by many countries in the name of the fight against terrorism which affect negatively the enjoyment of virtually all human rights - civil, cultural, economic, political and social. www.ohchr.org /english/issues/terrorism   (1033 words)

International Conference on International Terrorism and Counter-Terrorism Cooperation Although the discussion on international terrorism was primarily focused on Islamic extremists such as Al Qaeda and Abu Sayyaf, it was clear to all that terrorism was not simply an Islamic or religious-based phenomenon and that other groups with different political aims are likely to turn to terrorism in the future. Several participants pointed out that terrorism is not new to the world, but there was a general sense that its characteristics, particularly the methods and weapons now available (e.g., weapons of mass destruction, civilian aircraft and other non-military materials, etc.), are very different from earlier manifestations. As one participant pointed out, there are over 100 different definitions of terrorism in the many international and regional treaties and conventions on international terrorism and reaching an accurate and comprehensive definition is urgently needed to provide an international legal framework for effective prevention of terrorism as well as for prosecution of terrorists. www.icasinc.org /lectures/sass/sass.html   (4712 words)

COMPREHENSIVE MARITIME COUNTER-TERRORISM In maritime counter-terrorism in the high seas, the Navy, including the Coast Guard, has to be the weapon of first resort, aided by others such as the Air Force, the coastal Police and the civilian intelligence agencies. In land-based terrorism, the Police is the weapon of first resort and the army the weapon of the last resort except in border areas, where one faces the problem of cross-border infiltration of terrorists. In the case of maritime terrorism too, as in the case of land-based terrorism, Bangladesh continues to be in a denial mode-- showing neither an awareness nor a willingness to co-operate with others. www.saag.org /papers15/paper1403.html   (2746 words)

MARITIME SECURITY & MARITIME COUNTER-TERRORISM During the next five years, the ORF's International Terrorism Watch Project seeks to develop a core competence in the study of maritime counter-terrorism and counter-terrorism relating to energy security, if the required budgetary support is forthcoming.

Critics said the low number of terrorism meetings by the most senior members of the Security Council indicated the administration's priorities were elsewhere.
