  • Patterns of Global Terrorism 1999
    U.S. Department of State, April 2000 Introduction The US Government continues its commitment to use all tools necessary—including international diplomacy, law enforcement, intelligence collection and sharing, and military force—to counter current terrorist threats and hold terrorists accountable for past actions. Terrorists seek refuge in “swamps” where government control is weak or governments are sympathetic. We seek to drain these swamps. Through international and domestic legislation and strengthened law enforcement, the United States seeks to limit the room in which terrorists can move, plan, raise funds, and operate. Our goal is to eliminate terrorist safehavens, dry up their sources of revenue, break up their cells, disrupt their movements, and criminalize their behavior. We work closely with other countries to increase international political will to limit all aspects of terrorists’ efforts. US counterterrorist policies are tailored to combat what we believe to be the shifting trends in terrorism. One trend is the shift from well-organized, localized groups supported by state sponsors to loosely organized, international networks of terrorists. Such a network supported the failed attempt to smuggle explosives material and detonating devices into Seattle in December. With the decrease of state funding, these loosely networked individuals and groups have turned increasingly to other sources of funding, including private sponsorship, narcotrafficking, crime, and illegal trade. This shift parallels a change from primarily politically motivated terrorism to terrorism that is more religiously or ideologically motivated. Another trend is the shift eastward of the locus of terrorism from the Middle East to South Asia, specifically Afghanistan. As most Middle Eastern governments have strengthened their counterterrorist response, terrorists and their organizations have sought safehaven in areas where they can operate with impunity.

    Germany Page 1 of 15 Germany Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2000 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor February 23, 2001 The Federal Republic of Germany is a constitutional parliamentary democracy; citizens periodically choose their representatives in free and fair multiparty elections. The head of the Federal Government, the Chancellor, is elected by the Bundestag, the first of two chambers of Parliament. The powers of the Chancellor and of the Parliament are set forth in the Basic Law (Constitution). The 16 states represented in Parliament in the Bundesrat enjoy significant autonomy, especially as concerns law enforcement and the courts, education, the environment, and social assistance. The judiciary is independent. Law enforcement is primarily a responsibility of state governments, and the police are organized at the state level. The jurisdiction of the Federal Criminal Office is limited to counterterrorism, international organized crime, especially narcotics trafficking, weapons smuggling, and currency counterfeiting. Police forces in general are well trained, disciplined, and mindful of citizens' rights, although there have been instances in which police committed human rights abuses. A well-developed industrial economy provides citizens with a high standard of living. The Government generally respected the human rights of its citizens, and the law and judiciary provide effective means of dealing with cases of individual abuse. There were instances in which police were accused of human rights abuses, mostly against foreign residents and asylum seekers. Instances of societal violence and harassment directed at foreign residents continued as well, some resulting in deaths. After a 13.7 percent decline in rightwing-motivated crime in 1999, preliminary figures for the year suggest a significant increase in the number of such crimes.

  • Identifying Terrorist Operatives
    terrorist 01 (1-59).qxp 9/19/2007 11:50 PM Page 9 2 WHO THEY ARE: IDENTIFYING TERRORIST OPERATIVES If You Know the Terrorists, You Know Their Plans ho are terrorists? What is the single most important thing you should know? There are many terrorists, and W they come from diverse social and economic back- grounds. However, the most important thing you should consider is this: The intention of the terrorist operative is to use simple but bold, innovative actions to defeat your security and to render high technol- ogy useless. This mode of operations, called “asymmetric warfare” or “tech- nology judo,” is the terrorist’s profession. Terrorist operatives always consider the use of the most appropriate and lowest-end technology, best innovation, and exploiting any limits their target may have. However, these actions can be predicted and observed. Terrorists oper- ate between the cracks of technology and laws, yet they must operate somewhere. They cannot hide in a safe house with the curtains drawn all day. Even that is an observable action that should draw suspicion. Terrorists do not apply any rules or values to their operations other than what will enable them to gain publicity for their cause and hurt the enemy. If you attempt to get a fix on them with stereotypes of cultural traits, they will adopt the ones you don’t suspect in order to carry out a mission. For example, more than one of the 9/11 skyjackers were seen in U.S. nightclubs. No American would think they were devout religious extremists given this behavior.

  • The Story of Tampere an Undemocratic Process Excluding Civil Society

It was a summit of EU Plan establishing an area of freedom, security and justice", a "spin" (for non-UK readers this means putting the most positive detailed programme for the Council and Commission adopted at gloss on everything). It was a summit like no other (except the the December 1998 regular European Council in Vienna (some extraordinary summit in Luxembourg on employment, 20.11.97) Council documents refer to this as the "Vienna Plan"). The where no preparatory reports were available, only the final Action Plan contains 51 specific objectives with target dates of summit conclusions. This special report traces what was two and five years. available and who decided what. The idea of a special European Council on justice and home In the weeks running up to the summit NGOs and voluntary affairs was put forward by Spain (following a suggestion by groups said that Tampere should be about "freedom" and Jacques Santer) at an informal European Council at Pörtschach, "justice" and not just "security" ("Tampere European Council: Austria on 24-25 October 1998. The proposal was formally An "Area of freedom, security and justice" or an "obsession with adopted at the Vienna Summit at the end of the Austrian security"?", Statewatch, May-August, 1999) and this was a Presidency of the EU. The intention was to put "justice and home theme embraced by EU leaders up to and at Tampere.
