Nimroz Glossary
Security Incident is an event of a military, insurgent, political, factional, criminal or social nature initiated by any person or group which undermines national security or law and order, or that affects, or potentially affects, the safety and security of UN staff, facilities and programs, or those of NGOs and other implementing partners.
Intimidation is intentional behavior "which would cause a person of ordinary sensibilities" fear of injury or harm. It's not necessary to prove that the behavior was so violent as to cause terror or that the victim was actually frightened. "The calculated use of violence or the threat of violence to attain goals political, religious, or ideological in nature...through intimidation, coercion, or instilling fear" can be defined as terrorism.
Abduction is the takinggyp away a person a gainst the person's will , usuall y to hold the person in false imprisonment, a confinement without legal authority. This may be done for ransom or in furtherance of another crime, or in connection with a child custody dispute.
Landmine accident is the result of an explosion caused during mine clearance operations, whereas a mine incident is the result of an explosive occurrence that occurs away from the mine clearance sites (http://www.mineactionstandards.org). UNMACCA collects incidents as well as accidents. Gender, Age, Occupation, Condition and activity during mine/ERW incident/accident attributes are available.
Suspected Hazard Area (SHA) is an area of real or perceived danger due to landmines or UXO. This area is defined by the perceptions of the community or key informants that may or may not be accurate. A non-technical survey does not entail any physical investigations of the presence or geographical limitations of the risk area. That is different from what can be achieved through inspecting the site from one or more safe viewpoints outside the reported hazard area. The person with the best knowledge of the area and its landmine/UXO contamination accompanies these visits. SHAs are typically locations of confrontation or defense and are often found on the slopes of hills, around former military positions, within transportation networks (roads, airports, railroads), at water points and riverbanks, and around infrastructure such as buildings and distribution networks for electricity, water, oil and gas
Mine Field is an area of ground containing mines laid with or without a pattern
