    DEFENSE WHITE PAPER Message from the Minister of National Defense The year 2010 marked the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War. Since the end of the war, the Republic of Korea has made such great strides and its economy now ranks among the 10-plus largest economies in the world. Out of the ashes of the war, it has risen from an aid recipient to a donor nation. Korea’s economic miracle rests on the strength and commitment of the ROK military. However, the threat of war and persistent security concerns remain undiminished on the Korean Peninsula. North Korea is threatening peace with its recent surprise attack against the ROK Ship CheonanDQGLWV¿ULQJRIDUWLOOHU\DW<HRQS\HRQJ Island. The series of illegitimate armed provocations by the North have left a fragile peace on the Korean Peninsula. Transnational and non-military threats coupled with potential conflicts among Northeast Asian countries add another element that further jeopardizes the Korean Peninsula’s security. To handle security threats, the ROK military has instituted its Defense Vision to foster an ‘Advanced Elite Military,’ which will realize the said Vision.

  • Planning for a Secure City 403880 789811 9
    Planning for a Secure City Undergirding the perceptible dimensions of a liveable city—a bustling economy, dazzling skyline, state-of-the-art public infrastructure and amenities—is its ability to provide its inhabitants and visitors alike the confidence that their personal STUDIES URBAN SYSTEMS safety is ensured and safeguarded. 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. There’s no use having good surroundings but you are afraid all the time… Today a woman can run at three o’clock in the morning… [go] jogging… She will not be raped.

  • Submission-Mare-Liberum
    1 Submission to the Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants: pushback practices and their impact on the human rights of migrants by Mare Liberum Mare Liberum is a Berlin based non-profit-association, that monitors the human rights situation in the Aegean Sea with its own ships - mainly of the coast of the Greek island of Lesvos. As independent observers, we conduct research to document and publish our findings about the current situation at the European border. Since March 2020, Mare Liberum has witnessed a dramatic increase in human rights violations in the Aegean, both at sea and on land. Collective expulsions, commonly known as ‘pushbacks’, which are defined under ECHR Protocol N. 4 (Article 4), have been the most common violation we have witnessed in 2020. From March 2020 until the end of December 2020 alone, we counted 321 pushbacks in the Aegean Sea, in which 9,798 people were pushed back. Pushbacks by the Hellenic Coast Guard and other European actors, as well as pullbacks by the Turkish Coast Guard are not a new phenomenon in the Aegean Sea. However, the numbers were significantly lower and it was standard procedure for the Hellenic Coast Guard to rescue boats in distress and bring them to land where they would register as asylum seekers. End of February 2020 the political situation changed dramatically when Erdogan decided to open the borders and to terminate the EU-Turkey deal of 2016 as a political move to create pressure on the EU. Instead of preventing refugees from crossing the Aegean – as it was agreed upon in the widely criticised EU-Turkey deal - reports suggested that people on the move were forced towards the land and sea borders by Turkish authorities to provoke a large number of crossings.

    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.
