Requirements for oil pollution emergency plans and relevant oil pollution reporting procedures are contained in Articles 3 and 4 of the 1990 OPRC Convention. 2 This information is also provided to enable compliance with Regulation 17 of MARPOL Annex II which, inter alia, requires that the shipboard marine pollution emergency plans for oil and/or noxious liquid substances shall contain a list of authorities or persons to be contacted in the event of a pollution incident involving such substances. In this context, requirements for emergency plans and reporting for hazardous and noxious substances are also contained in Article 3 of the 2000 OPRC-HNS Protocol. 3 Resolution MEPC.54(32), as amended by resolution MEPC.86(44), on the SOPEP Guidelines and resolution MEPC.85(44), as amended by resolution MEPC.137(53), on the Guidelines for the development of Shipboard Marine Pollution Emergency Plans for Oil and/or Noxious Liquid Substances adopted by the IMO require that these shipboard pollution emergency plans should include, as an appendix, the list of agencies or officials of administrations responsible for receiving and processing reports. Such list is developed and up-dated by the Organization in compliance with Article 8 (Reports on incidents involving harmful substances) and Protocol I (Provisions concerning Reports on Incidents Involving Harmful Substances) of the MARPOL Convention. Under Article 8 of the MARPOL Convention, each Party to the Convention shall notify the Organization with complete details of authorities responsible for receiving and processing reports on incidents for circulation to other Parties and Member States of the Organization. Attention is also drawn to both Guidelines which stipulate that "in the absence of a listed focal point, or should any undue delay be experienced in contacting the responsible authority by direct means, the master should be advised to contact the nearest coastal radio station, designated ship movement reporting station or rescue co-ordination centre (RCC) by the quickest available means". 4 The "List of national operational contact points responsible for the receipt, transmission and processing of urgent reports on incidents involving harmful substances, including oil from ships to coastal States" contained in the circular is updated at the end of each calendar year.

Yet, at times, balancing security and urban design needs presents unique, though not insurmountable, challenges. This Urban Systems Study charts the critical role that security planning and urban design have together played in Singapore’s transformation from being the crime-ridden city that it was some 50 years ago to one of the safest places in the world today. It discusses the country’s use of innovative ideas and technology, its pragmatic approach to security enforcement and urban planning, and its willingness to challenge traditional Planning for A Secure City norms of security provision where necessary. It also examines how neither liveability nor security was compromised in Planning for Singapore’s plans to better prepare itself for emerging security and societal threats. a Secure City This book additionally highlights how the co-opting or active involvement of the public in various security-related initiatives, and the resulting trust built between the government and people, have complemented and enhanced the efforts of Singapore’s security and planning agencies in creating a secure city. “ A good city, first you must feel safe in it.

  • 1 Björn Bjarnason, Minister of Justice, Iceland. Climate Change And
    1 Björn Bjarnason, Minister of Justice, Iceland. Climate Change and Iceland’s Role in North Atlantic Security, Belfer Center, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard, 26 November 2007. Let me begin by saying that it is an honour and a pleasure for me to be here today at the Belfer Center of the John F. Kennedy School of Government. I thank you for giving me the opportunity to return to the school after my stay here in May 2000. And of course, I should like to greet all the distinguished guests who are present to hear my remarks. In May 2000, I took part in a leadership course here at the Kennedy School on how to deal with conflict and chaos in the 21st century. At that time I was Minister of Education, Science and Culture, and for me it was a pleasant experience to be able to return to the classroom as a student and have some time for myself in order to be better prepared to deal with constantly changing political and governmental tasks. One piece of advice we were given was to leave the dance floor occasionally and go up onto the balcony in order to see the whole picture and set a better course than is possible to do while one is engaged in the dance itself. Your invitation to me to come here today has once again reminded me of this good advice, and in preparing my lecture I put it into practice. I went up onto the balcony and looked at trends and developments in the North Atlantic, including climate change, exploitation of the Arctic and changes in maritime activity from a geopolitical and security perspective, in particular as regards Iceland´s security, which is indissolubly intertwined with security in the North Atlantic region.

Farið er yfir þróun umræðu, löggjafar og stefnumótunar um öryggismál, með sérstakri áherslu á tímabilið 2006-2014. Þá er einnig fjallað um áhrif öryggisnálgunar stjórnvalda á stofnanir sem starfa á sviði almannaöryggis og er sérstaklega horft til þróunar almannavarnakerfisins á Íslandi sem nær eingöngu hefur miðast við að bregðast við náttúruhamförum þó að ákveðin breyting sé að verða þar á. Íslensk stjórnvöld hafa ekki sett sér formlega stefnu í öryggismálum, en litið hefur verið á aðild Íslands að Norður-Atlantshafsbandalaginu og varnarsamninginn við Bandaríkin sem hornstein í öryggis- og varnarmálum. Eftir að bandaríski herinn fór frá Íslandi árið 2006 voru öryggismál tekinn til endurskoðunar. Áhættumatsskýrsla sem kom út árið 2009 lagði grunninn að stefnumótun stjórnvalda sem nú fer fram, þ.e. þróun þjóðaröryggisstefnu og stefnu í í almannavarna-og öryggismálum. Það sem nú þegar liggur fyrir um þessar stefnur gefur til kynna að öryggisviðhorf stjórnvalda takmarkist ekki lengur við hernaðarlegt öryggi og landvarnir. Í ritgerðinni er einnig fjallað er um áhættuhugtakið en öryggismál eru í auknum mæli sett í samhengi við áhættu og er Ísland engin undantekning þar á.

  • The Netherlands
    Military doctrine comprises fundamental principles which armed forces use to direct their actions. Over the past few years, the need for an integrated defence doctrine has increased. In its fi nal report in April 2002, for example, the advisory committee on the introduction of a joint high commander stated that joint operations were fast becoming the norm and that close, internal cooperation in such operations was so vital that an overarching doctrine was required. The Netherlands Defence Doctrine (NDD) serves as a ‘doctrinal basis’ from which various doctrine publications, for instance for the individual Services, will be drawn and developed. In order to meet this recognised need, it was proposed that doctrine be developed for all the main tasks of the Defence Ministry, using the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) doctrine as a basis. This NDD fi lls the gap between Service-specifi c doctrine and defence policy. Netherlands DefenceDoctrine The usual procedure is that Service doctrine is drawn from national Netherlands defence doctrine. The situation in the Netherlands has until now been different. There was no defence doctrine, but the Services had Defence nonetheless developed their own doctrine. Because of this situation, a signifi cant part of the contents of the NDD has been taken from the Doctrine existing doctrine publications of the various Services, underpinned by a strategic foundation from current policy documents from the Ministry of Defence. The distinction between the policy documents and the various doctrine publications lies particularly in the fact that the policy documents determine the ambitions and the capabilities of the armed forces and the doctrine publications provide guidance for the conduct of military operations.

The method of achieving this varies depending on the nature of the facilities available at both an LES and an RCC. Inmarsat believes that such arrangements can contribute significantly to the efficiency and effectiveness of search and rescue operations. 3 In order for an RCC to make use of the distress priority in the shore-to-ship direction, it is necessary for that RCC to establish a prior arrangement with the LES to set up the necessary traffic routeing arrangements. To enable this arrangement to be made, the RCC should contact the LES via the Operations Coordinator for that LES, whose details are contained in COMSAR.1/Circ.53/Rev.1 or a later revision of that circular. The LES will advise the RCC on the specific procedures to be used to make use of the distress priority in the shore-to-ship direction via that LES. To provide for priority access to the relevant LES an RCC may make arrangements such as: .1 two-stage voice dialling; or .2 installing a private leased line or some other system giving direct access to the LES network, where the required vessel number can be dialled and priority for space segment attached; or .3 other suitable arrangements similar to those outlined above.
