Rio de Janeiro, 22 de abril de 2020. ______________________________________________________ Professor e orientador José Luiz Gonçalves da Silveira, Dr. Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina ______________________________________________________ Prof. Camel André de Godoy Farah, Dr. Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina 4 Este trabalho é dedicado a todas as vítimas, in memoriam, e familiares de vítimas de atentados terroristas contra a aviação civil pelo mundo, em especial aos mais de 3 mil órfãos deixados pelos ataques de 11 de setembro de 2001. 5 AGRADECIMENTOS A mulher da minha vida, minha querida companheira Barbara Cristine Vinhaes Cardoso, por todo o carinho, tempo de convivência, força e compreensão, e ao meu querido filho Miguel Cardoso de Araujo que, no auge de sua infância, ensinou-me o melhor sentido para o termo “inteligência doméstica”, ora sob o aspecto tático-operacional, prevenindo ameaças a sua integridade física e psíquica, ora sob o aspecto estratégico, na tentativa de lhe garantir uma vida adulta justa, saudável e feliz. Brincadeiras à parte, agradeço também a todos os familiares e amigos, principalmente a minha mãe de criação, Bianca Ramos Rodrigues de Araujo, minha irmã, Jéssica Oliveira Marques de Araujo, e em especial ao meu pai, Vivaldo Marques de Araujo Filho, pelo exemplo de vida e retidão, bem como por todos os ensinamentos, estrutura e dedicação em proporcionar sempre, em que pesem os reveses da vida, o melhor aos filhos quando no exercício de seu ofício paternal. A todos os entes queridos que não estão mais entre nós, especialmente a minha outra mãe, Jaine Claire de Oliveira Araujo (que nos deixou tão cedo quando eu tinha apenas 7 anos de idade), e meu avô materno, Pedro Pacheco de Araujo, assim como aos grandes amigos que também já se foram, por todos os momentos felizes proporcionados e pela imprescindível contribuição para a formação do que sou hoje, destacando que suas nobres passagens, bastante abreviadas por adversidades em alguns casos, deixaram definitivamente um alerta sobre a efemeridade da vida, e a urgência de aproveitá-la junto a quem se ama. A todos aqueles que de alguma forma contribuíram para a elaboração desta pesquisa, meus mais sinceros agradecimentos. Se tentasse listar todos os familiares, amigos, colegas e professores que contribuíram de modo direto ou indireto, correria o risco de cometer alguma injustiça (na hipótese de esquecer de citar alguém), e definitivamente estaria incorrendo em fuga do escopo, tendo-se em conta a grande quantidade de pessoas queridas e a importância que tiveram para a consecução do presente trabalho. 6 “Achamos que a inteligência é importante para vencer guerras. Guerras não são vencidas pela inteligência, o que ela realmente faz, quando está funcionando bem, é ajudar a evitá-las” (David Kay, ex-Inspetor Chefe de Armas da ONU, 2004). 7 RESUMO De todos os modais de transporte existentes nos dias atuais é sobre a aviação civil, sem dúvida, que invariavelmente paira toda sorte de ameaças possíveis, inclusive a ameaça terrorista, mormente desde a brutalidade dos eventos ocorridos em 11 de setembro de 2001, quando terroristas suicidas apoderaram-se de aeronaves civis antes de lançá-las contra alvos pré- determinados em solo nos Estados Unidos da América, convertendo-se no maior atentado terrorista da história. Desde então, com o surgimento de novas tecnologias, novos conflitos e padrões de violência, e considerando os desafios securitários decorrentes desse panorama, diante de um mundo cada vez mais globalizado, com grandes implicações no modal aéreo, a autoridade de aviação civil brasileira deve permanecer vigilante para o enfrentamento adequado de ameaças que possam constituir risco à segurança do usuário do transporte aéreo e da sociedade em geral: missão para a qual a atividade de inteligência, particularmente aplicada à aviação civil, tem se mostrado imprescindível. Eis, portanto, a proposta do presente trabalho: investigar a atuação da Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC), enquanto autoridade de aviação civil brasileira, ao servir-se da atividade de inteligência como meio de prevenção de riscos, ameaças ou eventos que comprometam a segurança do usuário do transporte aéreo e da sociedade em geral. Tendo essa proposta como norte, buscou-se analisar o panorama histórico em que se deram as principais ocorrências de violação da segurança da aviação civil bem como as iniciativas da comunidade internacional para garantir a segurança do transporte aéreo; foram identificados os marcos legais da atividade de inteligência, da aviação civil brasileira, e a base principiológica de ambos; foram avaliados os riscos, ameaças e eventos que possam comprometer a segurança do usuário do transporte aéreo e da sociedade em geral; e, por fim, analisadas possíveis melhorias para o Sistema Brasileiro de Inteligência (SISBIN) no que tange à atividade de inteligência aplicada à aviação civil, tendo-se em conta a participação da ANAC nesse sistema. Palavras-chave: Atividade de inteligência. Aviação civil. Inteligência de Aviação Civil. 8 ABSTRACT Of all modes of transport nowadays, it is about civil aviation, that invariably hovers every possible kind of threats, including the terrorist threat, especially since the brutality of the events of September 11, 2001, when suicide terrorists hijack civil aircrafts before throw them in predetermined ground targets in the United States of America, becoming the largest terrorist attack in history. Since then, with the emergence of new technologies, new conflicts and patterns of violence, and considering the security challenges due to this panorama, facing of increasingly globalized world, with significant implications for air transport, the brazilian civil aviation authority must keep itself vigilant to adequately face the threats that can cause risk to the safety of air transport users and society in general: a mission for which intelligence, particularly applied to civil aviation, has become essential. Therefore, the purpose of this academic research: to investigate the role of the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC), as the brazilian civil aviation authority, by using intelligence as a means of preventing risks, threats or events that make vulnerable the safety of air transport users and society in general. Taking this proposal as guidance, we analyzed the historical scenario in which the main occurrences of violation of civil aviation security occurred and the initiatives of the international community to ensure the sacurity of air transport; the legal frameworks of intelligence, brazilian civil aviation, and the principle basis of both will be identified; risks, threats and events that make vulnerable the safety of the air transport users and society in general will be assessed; and, finally, possible improvements for the Brazilian Intelligence System (SISBIN) regarding the intelligence applied to civil aviation will be analyzed, taking into account the participation of National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) in this system.

  • The Case of Jhon Jairo Velasquez Vasquez – El Popeye
    DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY AND PUBLIC POLICY Narcoculture in Colombian Media: The Case of Jhon Jairo Velasquez Vasquez – El Popeye Katarina Milosevic Thesis submitted as partial requirement for the conferral of Master in International Studies Thesis Advisor: Marcelo Moriconi - Integrated Researcher CEI-IUL - Centre for International Studies (ESPP) - Professor Auxiliar Convidado ISCTE-Instituto Universitário de Lisboa 2018 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To my advisor Marcelo Moriconi, my parents and Christopher Wade Rosario. 2 ABSTRACT Jhon Jairo Velasquez Vasquez alias el Popeye, an ex-sicario and the last remaining member of the Medellin cartel, has been chosen as the object of study and he launched his own narconovela Alias JJ – Sobreviviendo a Pablo Escobar (2017), which became popular in Colombia and across the world and is analyzed in this research to determine how narcoculture ideals are spread by Popeye to wider audiences. The purpose of this research is to determine how Jhon Jairo, as a narco-figure, fits into the concept of narcoculture in Colombian media and whether he, as a figure, is the cause or the result of narcoculture, or both. Through the research and data gathered from academic works, polls, documentaries, narconovelas and interviews, El Popeye’s popularity is analyzed in order to determine why icons of narcoculture like himself are being followed and admired by large audiences in Colombia. It was concluded that although Jhon Jairo is a medium of narcoculture and uses media attention to spread his ideals, he is not the only to blame as without support, interest and fascination from the audiences, his narcoculture ideals would not gain any media attention.

  • 9/11 Families United to Bankrupt Terrorism Position Paper 1 (Foreseeability Time Line)
    9/11 FAMILIES UNITED TO BANKRUPT TERRORISM POSITION PAPER 1 (FORESEEABILITY TIME LINE): Foreseeability of the 9-11-01 Attacks on the U.S. Homeland Overview In its work to root out and bankrupt the logistical and funding sources of terrorism, Motley, Rice, on behalf of the 9/11 Families United To Bankrupt Terrorism, has compiled significant evidence and information that illustrates a requisite knowledge, years in advance of September 11, 2001, by industry, government, and financiers of terrorism of a likely plot whereby suicidal hijackers would use civilian aircraft as a weapon of mass destruction against high profile domestic landmarks. We believe the below analysis regarding pre-September 11th terrorist activities and the failure of government and industry to protect the public from these threats may be of value to the Commission as it attempts to identify the systemic deficiencies in government and industry leading up to the attacks. Specifically, the compilation of the referenced information illustrates: • A decades-long pattern of increased violence and lethality of terrorist attacks against commercial aircraft; • A number of earlier plots by Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups to use airplanes as guided missiles against high-profile landmarks; • An inability by government and industry to prevent such an attack from taking place; • An understanding and acknowledgement of these terrorist activities by financial supporters of Saudi Arabian based charities. We hope the Commission will utilize this information in its broader effort to enhance our nation’s understanding of the events leading up to the 9/11 attacks. Historical Trends It is instructive to examine the history of terrorist acts against civilian aircraft in order to better understand the overarching trends of terrorism and challenges in aviation security.

  • “BY, WITH, THROUGH” Understandably Reluctant to Commit National Blood and Treasure in Foreign Lands
    D R . E SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES mily S PENCER Following nearly a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan Westerners are tired of conflict and WITH, THROUGH” “BY, understandably reluctant to commit national blood and treasure in foreign lands. Arguably, there is a growing lack of national will everywhere for military engagements, which is underscored by a lack of resources, both human and financial. Nonetheless, and possibly even feeding on this state of affairs, there certainly is no lack of peril to which no nation is immune. In particular, geographic and geopoliti- cal boundaries are becoming increasingly less important to antagonists as is witnessed by the rise in transnational acts of aggression including terrorism, criminal activity and cyber-attacks. Nonetheless, the response to these acts of belligerence is often slowed – if not impeded – by national boundaries and capabilities, not least of which is the lack of national will to commit resources abroad. The concept of “By, With, Through” operations helps to mitigate these issues. Central to this approach, military assistance to allied and friendly nations is paramount in assuring a secure and stable world. Whether conducting operations “by” us (namely the Western nations) for those states without the necessary capability, or “with” those countries to secure their borders, the goal is, in the end, to work “through” those same countries by empowering them to conduct their own operations to secure their borders, with the ultimate goal of regional and international security. Special Operations Forces (SOF) by nature of their agile, unobtrusive and cost-effective profile represent the ideal force to lead such a response.

    REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT'S COMMISSION ON AVIATION SECURITY AND TERRORISM "... a comprehensive study and appraisal of practices and policy options with respect to preventing terrorist acts involving aviation." Executive Order 12686 August 4, 1989 Report to the President By The PRESIDENT'S COMMISSION on Aviation Security and Terrorism May 15, 1990 Washington, D.C. PRESIDENT'S COMMISSION ON AVIATION CHAIRMAN SECURITY AND TERRORISM Ann McLaughlin 1825 K Street N.W., Suite 519 MEMBERS Washington, D.C. 20036 Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg (202) 254-3166 (D-NJ) Sen. Alfonse M. D'Amato (R-NY) Rep. James L. Oberstar (D-MN) Rep. John P. Hammerschmidt (R-AR) Mr. Edward Hidalgo Gen. Thomas C. Richards USAF (Ret.) May 15, 1990 Dear Mr. President: I am privileged to present the report of the President's Commission on Aviation Security and Terrorism. Since the Commission began it work in November 1989, we have evaluated the existing aviation security system, options for handling terrorist threats and the treatment of families of victims of terrorist acts. The Commission interpreted your charge as requiring an independent and comprehensive review of these matters using the Pan Am 103 tragedy as a point of reference. This report presents a series of recommendations designed both to improve aviation security and the ability of the government to respond to a Pan Am 103. The nation must also act to deter and prevent the use of terrorism against civil aviation as a deadly tool of political policy. The Pan Am experience demands nothing less. The unyielding determination of the families of the victims of Pan Am 103, who sought this inquiry, provided the energy for our work.

The drug trade had ed in a seamless continuum, with individual organizations con­ expanded into a global problem, and the unprecedented power trolling all aspects of the drug trade, from cultivating or manu­ and wealth of the traffickers allowed them to manage their world­ facturing drugs in source countries to transporting them through wide business with the most sophisticated technology and com­ international zones and eventually selling them on the streets of American communities. DEA adjusted its strategy to address the unprecedented influ­ ence and power of the international drug mafias while working to reduce violent drug-related crime in American communities. Initially hampered by budget cutbacks in the late 1980s, by the mid-to-late 1990s, the agency had increased its budget, its staff­ ing, and its cooperation with law enforcement counterparts in the U.S. and abroad. During this time period, violent drug gangs proliferated around the country. Violence and drug trafficking went hand-in­ hand. More than 1.5 million Americans were arrested for drug law violations in 1996. Many crimes (e.g., assault, prostitution, and robbery) were committed under the influence of drugs or motivated by a need to get money for drugs. Competition and disputes contributed to violence as did the location of drug mar­ kets in areas where legal and social controls on violence tended to be ineffective.

Forster (Japan Women's University) This study investigates the ways in which the Netflix Narcos television series reinforces negative images of Latinos as dangerous drug dealers who threaten the safety and sanctity of U.S. citizens. It also explores how it both reflects and supports President Trump's politics of fear that not only got him elected, but has broadened and strengthened his support from conservatives since. An in-depth exploration of selected scenes from episodes of three Netflix series: Narcos, Narcos: Mexico, and El Chapo offers evidence of why such programs have become so popular for American viewers and continue to propagate Donald Trump's political pulpit of fear of illegal immigrants coming across the border to destroy conservative white America's way of life. Based on the analysis of these three series, it becomes clear that their popularity can perhaps be traced to Donald Trump's unexpected 2016 presidential win and his manipulative, and so far effective, use of politics of fear. In this context, the Netflix series mocks US law and journalism, which supports Trump's political agenda even further.

  • Terrorist Threats to International Civil Aviation Submitted By
    Committee: Security Council Issue title: Terrorist Threats to International Civil Aviation Submitted by: Arife Yesilöz, President of SC Edited by: Kamilla Tóth, President of the General Assembly Introduction Although terrorism is a phenomenon deeply rooted in history, aviation terrorism is considerably new as it is associated with the fast-paced expansion of civil aviation in the second half of the twentieth century. From the outbreak of the jet age, terrorists have tried, tested and enhanced numerous techniques for attacking civil aviation. They inaugurated a wave of aviation terrorism with a course of aircraft hijackings in the 1960s, instigated a long period of airport and ground attacks in the 1970s, introduced a short but fatal mid-air sabotaging cycle in the 1980s, and initiated a phase of suicide missions in the 1990s, which culminated in the 11 September 2001 (9/11) attacks that massacred thousands of people with hijacked aircraft.1 Thereafter, the 9/11 attacks stiffened the will of the United Nations (UN) and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Member States to combat aviation terrorism and to establish more efficient aviation security.2 For more than 50 years, the ICAO - with the help of other organizations - has promoted the establishment of the legal and regulatory framework (LRF) to stop the wave of criminal and terrorist assaults against aviation. Regardless of advances in security screening technology and the deployment of significant human and commercial resources over the years, the civil aviation sector still remains exposed to terrorist attacks. It is also important to include, that prevailing these threats recognize no national boundaries, are connected, and must be addressed at the global and regional as well as national levels.3 Definition of Key Terms Aircraft Hijacking: The unlawful act of seizure or the wrongful exercise of control, by force or violence or threat of force or violence, or by any other form of intimidation, and with wrongful intent, of any aircraft.
