Counter terrorism

How can participative communication approaches inform the prevention of radicalisation leading to violent extremism in Pakistan? Gordon Adam discusses how he drew on the ideas of participants in Malmö University's Master in Communication for Development to inform Media Support Solutions' recommendations to the British Government on a sensitive subject.

We show that a quantum correlation p is in a face of the nonsignaling polytope with no local points if and only if p has nonlocal content 1, if and only if p allows for a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-like proof, and if and only if p provides a perfect strategy for a nonlocal game. That is, face nonsignaling (FNS) correlations, full nonlocality (FN), all-versus-nothing (AVN) proofs, and pseudotelepathy (PT) are equivalent. This shows that different resources behind a wide variety of fundamental results are in fact the same resource. We demonstrate that quantum correlations with FNS = FN = AVN = PT do not need to maximally violate a tight Bell inequality. We introduce a method for identifying quantum FNS = FN = AVN = PT correlations and use it to prove quantum mechanics does not allow for FNS = FN = AVN = PT neither in the (3, 3; 3, 2) nor in the (3, 2; 3, 4) Bell scenarios. This solves an open problem that, because of the FNS = FN = AVN = PT equivalence, has implications in several fields.

Routine drivers would know the difficulty in driving on highways, in the night, because of the glare beaming from vehicles from opposite direction. Since drivers use high beams on national and state highways, it is a lot of nuisance for the incoming traffic on the opposite direction, but also critically helpful for travelling in plain roads. Furthermore, when a vehicle takes a deep turn, the headlight does not point to the direction that we are pursuing. Therefore, we propose an automation system that turns the headlight towards the concerned area when taking a steep turn. Automated headlight system using embedded system, provides way help fellow travelers from high beam glares by automatically detecting traffic from opposite direction and switching the light to low beam. This helps for the overall travelling drivers to have a better, safer driving experience and save them from trauma.

This paper aims to present a new branch of economic theory, building upon the traditional branches followed by microeconomics. It introduces the concept of Nanoconomics to broaden the scope of economic study, particularly within the microeconomic framework. According to this research, economic theory requires a revolution, incorporating new approaches and indicators to assess the economy as dynamic and very small unknown parts, rather than in individual parts. This paper defines Nanoconomics and proposes new methods to support the development of this extension. We argue that economic theory needs a profound transformation, moving beyond the conventional tools of analysis provided by microeconomics that have been used by academics and students up to the present day. Hence, we present the full theoretical, mathematical, and graphical model to start this new theoretical journey from now. The main objective is to investigate deep and unknown economic phenomena that never explored before from a new theoretical and innovative perspective.

تتضمن هذه الدراسة نقشين سبئيين مصدرهما معبد أوام بمدينة مارب، حاضرة مملكلة سبأ في اليمن القديم، والنقشان – موضوع الدراسة – من النقوش الدينية ذات الطابع النذري، وقد خُصصا للمعبود الرئيس لمملكة سبأ (إلمقه)، يعود الأول إلى النصف الثاني من القرن الثاني الميلادي، أما النقش الآخر فيعود – بالاعتماد على أشكال الحروف وأسلوب كتابتها – إلى المرحلة المتوسطة التي تمتد من القرن الثاني قبل الميلاد حتى الثالث الميلادي. وتكمن أهمية النقشين – بالإضافة إلى كونهما لم ينشرا من قبل بحسب علم الباحث – في أنهما يتضمنان إحدى طرق تواصل سكان اليمن القديم مع معبوداتهم، بغرض استجلاب وحيها، واستطلاع رأيها، وهو ما سيسهم في فهم أعمق للحياة الدينية للمجتمع في تلك الحقبة، بالإضافة إلى أن النقش الأول يشتمل على مفردات وصيغ ترد لأول مرة.

The present chapter has a twofold aim. First, it maps the current state of
international supervision in the area of international criminal law,1 by
looking particularly at the competence of treaty bodies and other noncompliance
mechanisms (NCMs),2 their institutional and operative differences,
progressive sophistication and other developments in recent
practice. Secondly, the chapter investigates the features of, and circumstances
under which, NCMs established by certain international criminal
law instruments are more effective than others to address situations of
non-compliance and orient future actions of States.

Pembahasan tentang isu-isu keamanan saat ini semakin menarik untuk diperbincangkan sebab masyarakat internasional telah menyadari bahwa hadirnya isu keamanan non tradisonal seperti terorisme lebih mengancam karena tindakan dari kelompok terorisme lebih sulit diprediksi, kapan dan dimana akan terjadi. Terorisme adalah sebuah perilaku atau tindakan yang menjurus kepada tindakan kekerasan dimana pelakunya dapat individu maupun kelompok. Terorisme melancarkan aksinya dengan motif politis untuk meraih kekuasaan dan menyebarkan teror kepada masyarakat luas. Pada level internasional perilaku terorisme berdampak pada sistem internasional, dampak yang dimaksud terjadinya fenomena teror yang dilancarkan oleh sekelompak terorisme yang telah berhasil mencuri perhatian publik internasional.

National Security Fundamentalism is an extreme version of what Posner and Vermeule call the accommodationist view; Liberty Perfectionism is akin to what they deem the strict enforcement view. See Posner & Vermeule, supra, at 605-10. Their target is the civil libertarian concern that accommodationist rulings will weaken liberty during peacetime and that during emergencies the government will respond to unjustified public panic. See id. 2 See generally DAVID COLE, ENEMY ALIENS: DOUBLE STANDARDS AND CONSTrru-TIONAL FREEDOMS IN THE WAR ON TERRORISM (2003). 3 This is one reading of GEOFFREY R. STONE, PERILOUS TIMES: FREE SPEECH IN WARTIME FROM THE SEDITION AcT OF 1798 TO THE WAR ON TERRORISM (2004). 4 On minimalism in general, see CAss R. SUNSTEIN, ONE CASE AT A TIME: JUDICIAL MINIMALISM ON THE SUPREME COURT (1999).

Background to the Study Over time, human beings have been involved in addressing common threats of survival to protect themselves through either dialogue or the use of force. In the turn of Twenty First Century, battlefields have gradually been shifted to populated areas and civilians becoming actors or victims in such crisis. Government's inability to address grievances of the people encouraged some individuals and groups to sway the vulnerable population to undertake acts that are variance with constituted authority. Thus, government uses instruments of national power such as diplomacy, information, economy and the military to checkmate such acts. The need for the military as it intervenes in insurgency ensures and maintains a relationship with the population through the application of non-kinetic means so that grievances could be addressed (Richmond, 2003). This relationship could be maintained through Civil Military Cooperation (CIMIC). Cooperation between the civilians and military elements involves integrating traditional military capabilities into a collective response to human needs. Both the civilian and military actors share the long-term goals of providing security and developing the conditions to return societies marred by activities of insurgency back to normalcy. In response to the growing complexities of operational requirement, states are increasingly recognising the need for cooperation between the civilian and military components in complex battlefields which are mostly located within civilian populated areas. Civil Military Cooperation is a military term used to describe those occasions that see elements of the armed forces engaging and collaborating with the civilian population. It entails the interaction with local authorities, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and the citizenry (Richmond, 2003).

Brazil has recently put into force a piece of legislation that regularizes online betting activities after many years of gambling prohibition. The Finance Ministry has also issued administrative regulations describing the requirements and procedures for companies interested in exploring this market, as well as mandatory AML compliance measures that must be adopted. Online betting is already regulated in many other countries, which has led to several studies and statistical data on the typical "red flags" of money laundering in this activity. The main objective of this study is to explore the relations between online betting/ gambling and money laundering, mainly within international law doctrine. Subsequently, examine new Brazilian legislation and regulations on the topic.

International relation between two countries at some time could evoke problems which are caused by the cheating action of one party, such as interception resulting in conflict between them. This study aims to explain the protection of international law against countries that are illegally intercepted by other countries and explain the method of dispute settlement conducted by Indonesia in resolving interstate conflicts resulting from Australian interception to Indonesia in 2013. This study uses a normative-juridical legal research method, by using legislation, case study , and conceptual approach with library data sources. The result shows that international law has not provided sufficient protection to countries intercepted or tapped by other countries. The method of dispute resolution used by Indonesia in solving wiretapping case with Australia is the peaceful settlement of international disputes through negotiation. Therefore, regulations concerning crosscountry intercepting must be established immediately, thus legal protection of the tapped countries could be proceeded, and the two countries must establish a code of conduct.

Кримінальне право Тероризм, екстремізм, сепаратизм та проблеми сучасного антитерористичного законодавства Актуальність «терористичної» теми, на жаль, у сьогоденній Україні не можливо заперечити, хоча ще років двадцять тому в цьому аспекті Україна була цілком безпечною. ЗМІ фіксують випадки тероризму, екстремізму та сепаратизму. Проте чи закріплені ці терміни в чинному законодавстві? Чи передбачена окрема відповідальність за кожне діяння, яке можливо віднести до проявів тероризму, екстремізму, сеператизму, злочинів проти гуманітарного права тощо. Тож розмаїття термінології, що застосовується в цій сфері потребує свого визначення, адже від цього залежить правильна кваліфікація діяння і, відповідно, обрання вірних засобів кримінально-правового реагування на нього.

This article examines the international community's efforts in elaborating and enacting counterterrorism preventive measures to address the conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism. Special emphasis is placed on the comprehensive approach to counterterrorism, which provides for the inclusive participation of non-state actors in the fight against violent extremism. The authors argue that the task of strengthening the preventive pillar of international cooperation is hampered by multiple tensions and divergent views that have, inter alia, hindered the adoption of the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism with its universal definition of terrorism. The authors also analyze the growing influence of the Russian Federation within the UN's counterterrorism entities, as well as its position regarding the new participatory trend of international security policies. Russia's national approach to counterterrorism involves the close collaboration between state and non-state actors with the purpose of fostering multiethnic and interreligious tolerance through counterterrorism propaganda and the promotion of patriotism. Accordingly, Russia strongly supports international initiatives to counter the ideology of terrorism through the regulation of the virtual space, while fervently upholding the principles of the sovereignty of States and non-interference in domestic affairs. The authors concluded that Russia's perspective on counterterrorism openly clashes with the Western approach centered on the democratic community-based response to terrorism. Moreover, the human rights driven approach for military interventions in sovereign States, promoted by Western countries, is not compatible with the principles of sovereignty defended by Russia. In the light of the increasing leverage of Russia and of regional platforms, such as the Shanghai cooperation organization, within the counterterrorism branches of the UN, the authors suggest that the Russian vision of international counterterrorism policies grounded in values of State sovereignty could eventually prevail over the Western stance of democracy promotion through the prism of the Global War on Terror. The sources used in this paper include official UN documents such as resolutions, statements and press releases. Academic and NGO studies on counterterrorism, newspaper articles as well as declarations of the Russian government also complete the authors' reflections.

This paper introduces a new economic simulator in the case of a war, this new economic simulator is entitled "The PostWar Economic Impact Simulator (PEI-Simulator)." The primary objective of the PEI-Simulator is to analyze wars at various stages to assess their overall socioeconomic impact in both the short and long term. Additionally, it shifts away from the traditional benefit-cost analysis of war, introducing a new simulator that represents war scenarios from a more complex and dynamic perspective. The PEI-Simulator assesses the economic impacts of countries thorough the possible scenario of a partial or full war in three different stages: (i) prewar stage; (ii) war stage; (iii) postwar stage. The analysis makes use of different indicators such as economic desgrowth from war (-δwar), war intensity (I), war losses (-Lwar), economic wear from war (Πwar), level of war tension (Twar), level of diplomatic negotiations (D), and the total economic leaking from war (Ωwar). Lastly, this research applies the PEI-Simulator to evaluate a possible full war between Russia and Ukraine.

The Rohingya problem is an old one. After nearly 70 years, the problem has been greatly aggravated by rising sectarian violence by radical Buddhist groups against Muslims and the involvement of transnational terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda and the self-proclaimed Islamic State. Commentary THE ROHINGYA crisis in Myanmar has a long history. Following Burma's independence in January 1948, a Rohingya-based insurgency broke out in northern Arakan, now known as Rakhine State, with the aim of integrating with East Pakistan, present-day Bangladesh. By the late 1950s, the mujahidin-oriented insurgency was crushed by the Burmese Army. Since the 1970s, various Islamist groups have surfaced to take up the cudgels of liberation, either to gain greater autonomy or outright independence. The key groups championing the Rohingya struggle include the Rohingya Solidarity Organisation, the Arakan Rohingya Islamic Front and Arakan National Liberation Organisation. Following the success of the Afghan Mujahidin in defeating the Soviets, since the 1980s, extremist jihadi-oriented groups have espoused violent struggle against Myanmar, often with the support of Af-Pak based radical groups and by the late 1990s onwards, groups affiliated with Al Qaeda and Islamic State. Al Qaeda Support for the Rohingya Even though Al Qaeda had existed since the late 1990s, it only began to show interest in the plight of the Rohingya since 2013. Hence, at the 12th anniversary of

Undeterred by its military setbacks in Marawi, the so-called Islamic State (IS) is now calling for a war of liberation and propagating an anti-Christian and anti-government narrative for continuing violence in and outside Mindanao. Regional governments and the international community should be involved in not only counter-terrorism efforts but also in the reconstruction of Marawi. Commentary IN AUGUST 2017 the so-called Islamic State (IS) released three propaganda videos in relation to the ongoing battle in Marawi, and a fighting speech by a Syrian IS terrorist, encouraging Muslims in Southeast Asia to engage in a war to "liberate" their towns and cities from existing governments and political systems.

The recent recapture of Marawi City by Philippine security forces which led to the death of Isnilon Hapilon has thrown up a new emir or leader, Amin Baco. A Malaysian from Sabah, who is Amin Baco? Commentary IT WAS not whether but when ISIS, also known as Islamic State (IS), would appoint the successor to Isnilon Hapilon, following the death of the Emir of ISIS Philippines on 20 October 2017 in Marawi City. There were conflicting reports as to who had been appointed as the new point man of the jihadi organisation. But by early November 2017, it became clear that Amin Baco, a Malaysian, has been designated as the new leader of Southeast Asia's most embattled jihadi outfit, at the core of which is the Abu Sayyaf Group in southern Philippines.

En este artículo se analiza el proceso que llevó a algu-
nos jóvenes italianos, aparentemente alejados de todo vínculo con el
terrorismo, a militar en organizaciones armadas entre los años setenta
y ochenta, es decir en la época que se llamó “años de plomo”. Se hace
especial hincapié en las dinámicas que favorecieron esa radicalización,
centrándose exclusivamente en las organizaciones de extrema izquierda.
Tras un análisis de los elementos de la radicalización terrorista a
nivel macro, meso y micro, el estudio se focaliza en el caso italiano
identificando pautas y patrones recurrentes en el proceso de radicaliza-
ción hacia el terrorismo.

This article analyses the high number of individuals who left Tunisia after the Arab Spring to join a jihadi organisation in Syria or in Iraq and it attempts to provide some explanations for this phenomenon. The analysis begins with an overview of countries in North Africa and, afterwards, it focuses on the Tunisian case. Relative deprivation theory is used to explain the radicalisation of a part of the Tunisian population. But no single explanation can depict the real situation of the Tunisian foreign terrorist fighters. For this reason, we investigated multiple motivations that anyone who left Tunisia to join the jihad was driven by. The increasing presence of a certain number of Salafi organisations, and its different strategy inside or outside the country, has also been analysed and considered as one of the possible causes of the worsening of the situation. Lately, one of the biggest threats in Tunisia is the return of foreign terrorist fighters.

Contemporary security realities have deepened the need to widen the space in search of intelligence education and knowledge acquisition across the world. This has opened up new horizons as non-military universities have established intelligence and security studies all over the world. However, this raises the need to examine the issues of core competencies and expertise needed to produce global future leaders in intelligence management and practice. For a developing country like Nigeria, this remains an onerous task as this work seeks to evaluate the quest for intelligence education in Nigeria by Novena University and Afe Babalola University. It has been seriously noted that part of the competencies required for effective intelligence teaching require practical experiences because some believe that no matter your academic prowess in terms of research work, publications and professional trainings in the classroom, being on ground to acquire real life experiences that cannot be over emphasised. While the aforesaid assertion remains immutable this work shows the strengths and weaknesses in delivering intelligence education as they are tailored largely towards tradecraft. This lacuna stems largely from the dearth of adequate academics in this relatively new field and suffice to say that a generalist approach as it is now holds a glorious future for intelligence education in Nigeria.

(Study Kasus pemuda pancasila pasca reformasi) Pemuda Pancasila menjadi kesatuan pendukung Ikatan kemerdekaan Republik Indonesia, untuk memperjuangkan nilai-nilai Pancasila dan Undang-Undang dasar 1945 dari tangan komunisme. Setelah berhasil melakukan tugasnya kemudian Pemuda Pancasila memberikan aspirasi politiknya terhadap beberapa partai politik, yang pertama Partai Demokrasi Indonesia, namun Pemuda Pancasila menarik dirinya dan memberikan aspirasi penuh kepada partai Golongan Karya. Seiring berjalannya waktu, Pemuda Pancasila di era Orde Baru menjadi sebuah alat kekuatan pemmerintah, dan melakukan kegiatan serta aksinya dengan cara represif maupun ideology, namun lebih sering melakukan kegiatannya dengan cara represif. Diakhir era Orde Baru, Pemuda Pancasila mulai merubah citra kekerasan didalam ormasnya. Memasuki era Reformasi, Pemuda Pancasila mulai menghilangkan citra negative didalam ormasnya, mereka mulai melakukan kegiatan social dan kemasyarakatan di Indonesia, namun, pasca Reformasi ini, Pemuda Pancasila masih saja menunjukkan sifar represif didalam ormasnya dengan cara konflikkonflik antar ormas kepemudaan diberbagai wilayah di Indonesia. Skripsi ini ditulis dengan penelitian kualitatif. Untuk data primer dilakukan wawancara kepada narasumber yang terpilih. Memberikan pertanyaanpertanyaan yang terkait dengan tema tulisan. Dan untuk data sekunder, didapat dari library research (kajian pustaka), internet, artikel terkait, dan sebagainya.

In our study, first of all, the thoughts of the valuable sociologists of the 19th century on "change" and the phenomenon of "social change" and the fact that this phenomenon continues at a dizzying pace in the 21st century are explained, and the importance and importance of the media in line with the new developments in technology and computers-machines. Its place in social development was revealed, it was emphasized that the existence of the major terrorist organizations known in the Middle East continues, and that the organizations use technology and media for their own interests, and especially in the 21st century. The "September 11 Terrorist Incident" in the USA, which occurred in the first quarter of the 20th century, the 2015 "Terrorist Incidents" in France, and the armed terrorist acts that took place in the "Crocus City Hall" concert hall in the capital of Russia, which is still a very hot topic, are a "case analysis". ” and in the fight against terrorism, especially in today's rapid global developments, countries; In particular, efforts were made to explain the strengthening of our joint work on the US National Security Council/War on Global Terrorism and Strategy development and the Turkish Intelligence Agency's Counter-Terrorism Department/War on Global Terrorism-Strategy development.

This paper argues that the present countermeasures to deal with the plague of extremist violence in the world are inadequate, in that they are largely reactive rather than addressing the root causes, which are prejudices of various kinds. It postulates the need for a united global approach in this matter based on spiritual principles.

The present paper shows only the peculiarities which occur in the use of induction generator in energy power stations and some solutions for solving of the stated problems.

A possibilidade de uma pandemia provocada de forma intencional é um dos novos riscos mais aterrorizantes do século XXI. À medida que a tecnologia reduz os limites para o desenvolvimento de armas biológicas, até mesmo indivíduos com conhecimento e orçamentos modestos podem representar ameaças extraordinárias.
Embora já tenham ocorrido incidentes reais de bioterrorismo, nenhuma pandemia em larga escala foi causada directamente pelo terrorismo. No entanto, a ficção oferece cenários detalhados sobre tais eventos. Escritores dessas narrativas situam-se na intersecção entre a ciência moderna e uma tradição literária profunda de histórias sobre pandemias, originada em relatos bíblicos de pragas.
Este artigo examina representações de "bioterroristas solitários" em fontes ficcionais contemporâneas, analisando como os autores se baseiam no discurso de contra terrorismo, especialmente em suas tentativas de modelar psicologicamente os perpetradores. O texto ressalta os perigos de um espaço especulativo limitado e conclui com uma discussão sobre os impactos dessas imagens na percepção das ameaças emergentes por parte de cientistas, formuladores de políticas e o público em geral.

The Cambridge History of the Kurds is an authoritative and comprehensive volume exploring the social, political and economic features, forces and evolution amongst the Kurds, and in the region known as Kurdistan, from the fifteenth to the twenty-first centuries. Written in a clear and accessible style by leading scholars in the field, the chapters survey key issues and themes vital to any understanding of the Kurds and Kurdistan including Kurdish language; Kurdish art, culture and literature; Kurdistan in the age of empires; political, social and religious movements in Kurdistan; and domestic political developments in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Other chapters on gender, diaspora, political economy, tribes, cinema and folklore offer fresh perspectives on the Kurds and Kurdistan as well as neatly meeting an exigent need in Middle Eastern studies. Situating contemporary developments taking place in Kurdish-majority regions within broader histories of the region, it forms a definitive survey of the history of the Kurds and Kurdistan.

This essay argues that the anatomy of security in Pakistan requires a multidimensional approach that integrates various theoretical frameworks and addresses the country's complex socio-political landscape. By analysing traditional and non-traditional security threats, this essay presents a critical case study of Pakistan’s National Security Policy 2022-26 to comprehensively understand Pakistan's security dynamics within the postmodern context.

The past decade has seen the rise of a new threat, a state's own radicalised citizens committing terrorist atrocities for a global cause. To respond to this threat, successive UK governments have introduced Prevent strategies in an attempt to counter the factors that lead to radicalisation. In 2015 the Coalition Government went further, introducing a specific legal duty (s 26(1) Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015). This duty requires specified authorities to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism. This article explores the requirements of the duty and its compatibility with the ECHR. Overall it is argued that rather than building on the Prevent strategies, the Prevent Duty has both accentuated the limitations of the strategies, while at the same time also creating new problems, both of which are likely to prove counter-productive and thus ultimately undermine the UK's ability to prevent terrorism.

Esta dissertação de mestrado em Ciências Policiais tem como objectivo enquadrar e conceptualizar o uso do Cão como elemento das Forças e Serviços de Segurança, e o Cão como elemento integrante da nossa sociedade e família, na Segurança do dia-adia, na função Policial, e no Contraterrorismo. As potencialidades do uso do cão ainda não se conseguiram delimitar. Não sabemos até onde podemos ir com capacidades tão extraordinárias como o seu olfacto, a sua visão, a sua capacidade de decifrar linguagem corporal. Nunca a Humanidade recorreu tanto ao uso do cão para seu auxílio como hoje em dia. Da busca de explosivos, ao uso de cães robot de comando à distância, até aos
cães de terapia emocional, as aplicações e a simbiose com os cães estão no seu ponto mais alto; no entanto, muitos processos, muito do que se faz, ainda não está compreendido nem devidamente enquadrado. Pretendemos contribuir para esse enquadramento e mostrar de uma forma geral as aplicações possíveis da ajuda do cão na nossa segurança do dia-a-dia e no combate ao terrorismo, ameaça premente e actual
à nossa segurança, mas também ao nosso modo de vida, do qual o cão faz parte integrante.
