Individuals, such as Timothy McVeigh, may also engage in terrorist acts such as the Oklahoma City bombing.

  • Homeland Security: the Department of Defense’S Role
    Order Code RL31615 Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Homeland Security: The Department of Defense’s Role Updated May 14, 2003 Steve Bowman Specialist in National Defense Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Homeland Security: The Department of Defense’s Role Summary For over a century the U.S. military has focused on expeditionary warfare overseas. Its participation in domestic operations has been sporadic and generally in response to natural disasters. With the heightened concern about large-scale terrorism, have come efforts to involve DOD more closely with federal, state and local agencies in their homeland security activities. DOD resources are unique in the government, both in their size and capabilities, and can be applied to both deter and respond to terrorist acts. While the DOD leadership is ready and willing to play a supporting role in these efforts, it wishes to maintain overseas military operations as the Department’s primary focus, and avoid an drain of fiscal, materiel, and personnel resources to the homeland security mission. In response to the increased focus on homeland security, on October 1, 2002, DOD activated a new combatant command, Northern Command or NORTHCOM.. Exactly how DOD and a new DHS will establish and maintain coordination and cooperation remains to be seen. Legislation creating the DHS (P.L. 107-296) is silent on this question, and details on the new NORTHCOM are scarce. The intelligence collection and analysis capabilities within the Department of Defense are a substantial portion of the United States’ national intelligence assets.

  • Combating Political Violence Movements with Third-Force Options Doron Zimmermann ∗
    Between Minimum Force and Maximum Violence: Combating Political Violence Movements with Third-Force Options Doron Zimmermann ∗ Introduction: Balancing the Tools of Counter-Terrorism In most liberal democratic states it is the responsibility of the police forces to cope with “internal” threats, including terrorism, since in such states terrorism is invariably defined as a criminal act rather than a manifestation of insurgent political violence. In many such instances, the resultant quantitative and qualitative overtaxing of law en- forcement capabilities to keep the peace has led to calls by sections of the public, as well as by the legislative and executive branches of government, to expand both the le- gal and operational means available to combat terrorism, and to boost civilian agen- cies’ capacity to deal with terrorism in proportion to the perceived threat. The deterio- rating situation in Ulster in Northern Ireland between 1968 and 1972 and beyond is an illustrative case in point.1 Although there have been cases of successfully transmogrifying police forces into military-like formations, the best-known and arguably most frequent example of aug- mented state responses to the threat posed by insurgent political violence movements is the use of the military in the fight against terrorism and in the maintenance of internal security. While it is imperative that the threat of a collapse of national cohesion due to the overextension of internal civil security forces be averted, the deployment of all branches of the armed forces against a terrorist threat is not without its own pitfalls. Paul Wilkinson has enunciated some of the problems posed by the use of counter-ter- rorism military task forces, not the least of which is that [a] fully militarized response implies the complete suspension of the civilian legal system and its replacement by martial law, summary punishments, the imposition of curfews, military censorship and extensive infringements of normal civil liberties in the name of the exigencies of war.

As can be expected, the federative organisation of such states as Germany, Switzerland, the USA, India and Russia will be reflected in their police organisation, though the extremely decentralised approach of Switzerland with hardly any central man- agement structures can hardly serve as a paradigm of ‘the’ federal police organisation.

  • Concerns in Europe
    CONCERNS IN EUROPE January - June 1999 FOREWORD This bulletin contains information about Amnesty International’s main concerns in Europe between January and June 1999. Not every country in Europe is reported on: only those where there were significant developments in the period covered by the bulletin. The five Central Asian republics of Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are included in the Europe Region because of their membership of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). Reflecting the priority Amnesty International is giving to investigating and campaigning against human rights violations against women and children, the bulletin contains special sections on Women in Europe (p.76) and Children in Europe (p.79). A number of individual country reports have been issued on the concerns featured in this bulletin. References to these are made under the relevant country entry. In addition, more detailed information about particular incidents or concerns may be found in Urgent Actions and News Service Items issued by Amnesty International. This bulletin is published by Amnesty International every six months. References to previous bulletins in the text are: AI Index: EUR 01/01/99 Concerns in Europe: July - December 1998 AI Index: EUR 01/02/98 Concerns in Europe: January - June 1998 AI Index: EUR 01/01/98 Concerns in Europe: July - December 1997 AI Index: EUR 01/06/97 Concerns in Europe: January - June 1997 AI Index: EUR 01/01/97 Concerns in Europe: July - December 1996 AI Index: EUR 01/02/96 Concerns in Europe: January - June 1996 Amnesty International August 1999 AI Index: EUR 01/02/99 2 Concerns in Europe: January - June 1999 ARMENIA Prisoners of conscience (update to information in AI Index: EUR 01/01/99) At the end of the period under review at least nine young men remained imprisoned because their conscience led them into conflict with the law that makes military service compulsory for young males, and offers them no civilian alternative.

  • Statewatch Analysis Germany Permanent State of Pre-Emption
    Statewatch analysis Germany Permanent state of pre-emption By Katrin McGauran Reform of the Federal Police Authority is the latest in a series of legal, institutional and technological developments underpinning Germany’s increasingly authoritarian “security architecture”. It has been widely observed that the security architecture of post-Cold War western Europe is defined by a conflation of the police and security services: political intelligence gathering, that is the tailing, bugging, surveillance, data collection and profiling of citizens, has become part and parcel of the modus operandi of police forces. The use of surveillance is not restricted to foreigners or domestic political activists and terrorists, but can now affect the population as a whole. Legally, institutionally and technologically, this development manifests itself in the expansion and merging of databases, 'projects', personnel, remits and police force instruments, with the internal and external security services. One consequence of this conflation of activities is that law enforcement acts in an increasingly repressive and authoritarian fashion towards its own citizens, particularly those who challenge the status quo, such as social movements and investigative journalists. The causalities of this new security architecture are civil liberties and basic democratic rights such as privacy, data protection, the right to protest and freedom of the press, with systematic discrimination against particular groups (political activists and foreigners) profiled as potential terrorist
