Concluding remarks ................................................................... 168 Introduction The Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF) was founded in October 2000 at the initiative of the Swiss government. DCAF counts today some fifty-four member states and has evolved into one the world’s leading centres of excellence in the areas of security sector reform (SSR) and security sector governance (SSG). It is unique through its holistic approach that encompasses the entire spectrum of SSR and SSG, through its combination of conceptual and analytical work with hands on operational missions on the ground, as well as through its organisational structure that places the Centre at the crossroads between an NGO and an intergovernmental organisation. The Centre has decided to commemorate its up-coming tenth anniversary through a series of studies to be published throughout the year. They will look at three issues: (1) The trends and challenges which will determine SSR and SSG in the years to come; (2) how the environment will evolve in which SSR and SSG will have to operate; and – above all – (3) how the SSR / SSG approach will have to further evolve in order to be able to cope with the new realities of a globalising world. The corresponding programme has been called “Horizon 2015.” There are several reasons for this choice of a relatively narrow time horizon. First, a more distant horizon – for instance 2025 or 2050 – would contain the risk that the series could embark on shallow guess work and simple speculation. In 2050 everything is possible – while 2015 is close enough to impose intellectual rigour. Secondly, DCAF will have to adopt in 2011 a new Strategy Paper for the years 2012–15. “Horizon 2015” should, thus, contribute to the debate what DCAF’s strategy should be in the years to come. “Trends and Challenges in International Security: An Inventory” is the first “Horizon 2015” study. Its objective is to depict the overall environment in which SSR and SSG will have to be shaped in the years to come. It is an inventory of problems and challenges, not an answer to the question of how SSR and SSG will have to evolve as a result of these trends. That will be the subject of subsequent “Horizon 2015” studies. Nor does this first study claim to be comprehensive – neither with respect to the topics covered or the depth of analysis. There are additional topics that would merit to being looked at and there is much more that could be said on all the issues covered. The study seeks merely to recall the overall background against which the issue of SSR and SSG must be discussed in the coming years. The volume’s job is, so to speak, to set the stage for further analysis to come within the “Horizon 2015” series. The study breaks down into three parts: (1) Problems and trends that have a fundamental impact on the subject matter but are not going to be solved till 2015. This group of issues includes topics such as the climate change, resource scarcities, or demographics. (2) Problems that are well known and understood but escape easy solutions – and thus are likely to be still very much on the agenda in 2015. That group includes issues like corruption, organised international crime, and illegal migration. (3) Topics that figure already on the agenda – and thus are addressed by current SSR / SSG approaches – but whose full implications appear still to be underestimated and, therefore, consume a good deal of our time in the years to come. 3 The “Horizon 2015” series will focus on a select group of such issues, focusing, above all, on those that are likely to demand modified, expanded, or new SSR / SSG approaches. The term SSR was originally coined by Claire Short, a member of Tony Blair’s cabinet and responsible for development cooperation. The key point was to recognise that there is a need to coordinate so far separate policies such as development cooperation and defence assistance. SSR understands all components of the security sector – armed forces, police, border guards, intelligence agencies, presidential or national guards, paramilitary forces, and so forth – as pieces of one great puzzle that hang together. These “gens d’armes”, i.e., the armed component of state authority, are all, in different ways, called upon to establish, defend, and if necessary impose, the state monopoly of legitimate force. Their respective mandates must be clear, distinct, and precise (for instance: who has the right to arrest somebody – and for what reason?). Such precise mandates imply automatically the notion of accountability (both with respect to failure to fulfil one’s mandate or to overstep its limits). This, in turn, lays the basis for an efficient oversight framework at the governmental, parliamentary, and ultimately public levels. The concept makes obvious sense – but drives a coach and horses through previously existing, and jealously guarded parochial service and administrative interests.1 There is a clear nexus between security and development. Without security there cannot be any development. If the most essential security needs of a society cannot be assured, there is simply no way for economic development to make any headway. There is, simply put, no point in digging wells, if somebody is poisoning them. Nobody invests in a war zone. Inversely, there cannot be any security in the longer term, if there is no development. People with empty stomachs will eventually grab their Kalashnikovs, join organised international crime, or migrate. Once the security / development nexus was recognised, another insight was inevitable. In order to establish security and to foster development, it is necessary to build up the foundations for the rule of law. The precise definition of the components of the security sector and of the mandates and resulting competences of its components implies the adoption of constitutionally based, transparent, and effective laws and regulations.

  • Is India Ready for the Indo- Pacific?
    Harsh V. Pant and Abhijnan Rej Is India Ready for the Indo- Pacific? One of the key geopolitical developments in 2017 was the first-ever formal enshrinement of the “Indo-Pacific” as a unified strategic theater in the U.S. National Security Strategy.1 Subsequently, the U.S. National Defense Strat- egy also adopted this terminology, suggesting buy-in across the Executive Branch.2 The development was arguably the result of the growing realization in Washing- ton, D.C., and other capitals that it cannot be business-as-usual going forward with China, given its increasingly assertive foreign policy since 2013. As analysts have noted, it is hardly an accident that this new term was introduced in the same document that officially termed China as a “revisionist” power for the first time.3 The idea of the Indo-Pacific received further validation when the quadrilateral security dialogue (colloquially, the quad)—involving the United States, Australia, Japan, and India—reconvened for the first time in a decade in Manila in Novem- ber 2017. Most significantly, in June 2018, the U.S. Pacific Command—one of the oldest and largest unified combatant commands—was renamed the U.S. Indo- Pacific Command while its area of responsibility remained the same. The normative significance of the formal adoption of this nomenclature for India cannot be overstated. The moniker firmly and officially situates India in U.S. grand strategy. The expansive maritime space that is the Indo-Pacific, per the U.S. definition, includes the Pacific and part of the Indian Ocean, up to India’s western coastline.

  • Al-Qaeda –Mombassa Attacks 28 November 2002 by Jonathan Fighel1
    The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center June 16, 2011 Al-Qaeda –Mombassa Attacks 28 November 2002 By Jonathan Fighel1 On June 11, 2011 Somali police reported that Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, one of Africa's most wanted al-Qaeda operatives, was killed in the capital of the Horn of Africa. Mohammed was reputed to be the head of al-Qaeda in east Africa, operated in Somalia and is accused of playing a lead role in the 1998 embassy attacks in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, which killed 240 people. Mohammed is also believed to have masterminded the suicide attack on an Israeli-owned hotel in Mombassa, Kenya in November 2002 that killed 15 people, including three Israeli tourists. Introduction On the morning of November 28, 2002, Al-Qaeda launched coordinated attacks in Mombassa, Kenya against the Israeli-owned Paradise Hotel and an Israeli passenger jet.2 The near simultaneous attacks involved Al-Qaeda operatives supported by a local infrastructure. In the first attack, the terrorists fired two SA-7 surface-to-air missiles at a departing Israeli Arkia charter Boeing 757 passenger aircraft, carrying 261 passengers and crew, both missiles missed. The second occurred twenty minutes later, when an explosives- laden vehicle driven by two suicide attackers, blew up in front of the Israeli-owned Paradise Hotel. The attack was timed just as the hotel’s Israeli guests arrived—having traveled aboard the same Arkia plane that had embarked on the return flight to Israel. As a result of the 1 The author is a senior researcher scholar at The International Institute for Counter Terrorism -Herzliya -Israel (ICT).First published on ICT web site http://www.ict.org.il/Articles/tabid/66/Articlsid/942/currentpage/1/Default.aspx 2 CNN, “Israeli Report Links Kenya Terrorist to Al Qaeda” , 29 November 2002.

    2013 (2) ISSN 2277 – 2464 FPRC Journal ________________________________________________________ (a Quarterly research journal devoted to studies on Indian Foreign Policy) ________________________________________________________________ Focus : Indian Ocean : A New Vision Responses, Articles ________________________________________________________ Foreign Policy Research Centre NEW DELHI (INDIA) ________________________________________________________ FPRC Journal 2013(2) Indian Ocean : A New Vision Preface Indian Ocean has the unique distinction of being the only ocean named after a country. For extra‐regional powers, the Indian Ocean has for decades fulfilled the role of an important transit corridor But Sardar KM Pannikar rightly said, “While to other countries, the Indian Ocean is only one of the important oceanic areas, to India it is a vital sea. Her lifelines are concentrated in that area, her freedom is dependent on the freedom of that water surface. No industrial development, no commercial growth, no stable political structure is possible for her unless her shores are protected...” Therefore, there is a realisation across the spectrum that the challenges, opportunities and roles the Indian Ocean provides, need to be discussed seriously in the light of the fragile security environment in the region. It is very heartening to note that a wide galaxy of writers have focused on important themes and other related issues in their writings and comments, for this special issue of FPRC Journal on Indian Ocean. We express our heart-felt thanks to our contributors who have shared our sentiments and accepted our invitation to enrich the contents of the Journal.They are always our source of strength.
