    Las BACRIM despue s de 2013: ¿prono stico reservado? BERNARDO PÉREZ SALAZAR CARLOS MONTOYA CELY A mediados de 2012, el ministro de defensa, Juan Carlos Pinzón, dio un parte de tranquilidad frente a las bandas criminales –bacrim–, señalando que en 934 municipios del país “no hay presencia de bandas criminales”.1 No aclaró el alcance de la expresión “no hay presencia” ni la definición de “banda criminal”. Tampoco refirió cómo llegó a la mentada cifra de municipios. En todo caso la declaración contrastó visiblemente con el parte que a principios del 2011 habían entregado las autoridades de la Policía Nacional, con el general Oscar Naranjo a la cabeza, al indicar que las vendettas y los ajustes de cuentas entre narcos representarían el 47% de los 15.400 homicidios registrados en 2010. Dadas las violentas disputas territoriales que se registraban en aquel entonces por el control del “microtráfico” en sectores urbanos de Medellín entre alias “Sebastián” y “Valenciano”, así como por rutas de narcotráfico en Córdoba entre “Paisas” (aliados a los Rastrojos) y “Aguilas Negras“ (aliados de los Urabeños), no es de extrañar que una nota informativa cubriendo la noticia se hubiese titulado: “Las bacrim cometen la mitad de los asesinatos en Colombia”.2 Declaraciones sobre el tema del entonces ministro del Interior, Germán Vargas Lleras, entregadas también en enero de 2011, no fueron menos inquietantes, y se resumieron en el titular “Las bacrim ya actúan en 24 departamentos colombianos”, lo que propició que algunos analistas refirieran la presencia de

  • Evolving Attitudes to Peacekeeping in ASEAN David Capie
    111 Evolving Attitudes to Peacekeeping in ASEAN David Capie This paper provides an overview of evolving attitudes towards peacekeeping among the ten members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Created in 1967, ASEAN is an extraordinarily diverse regional group that brings together some of the world’s richest and poorest countries; nascent democracies and authoritarian regimes.1 Despite this diversity, there is a growing interest in peacekeeping among almost all member states. They include longtime and substantial contributors to UN missions (such as Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines), states that have contributed since the end of the Cold War (Thailand and Singapore) and three new participants (Cambodia, Brunei and Vietnam). As of November 2014, only Myanmar and Laos have not partic- ipated in any UN peacekeeping missions. Drawing on extensive interviews, the paper discusses the changing place of peace- keeping in national foreign and defence policies across Southeast Asia. As well as summa- rizing the broad trend in favour of peacekeeping, it highlights two important recent developments. First, in 2012 Indonesia declared the goal of dramatically increasing its commitment to United Nations peacekeeping missions with the aim of becoming a Top 10 Troop Contributing Country (TCC). Second, in 2014 Vietnam decided to break with its historical opposition to sending its troops abroad and embrace peacekeeping as part of its strategy of comprehensive global integration. Following constitutional changes, Vietnam sent its first two officers to UNMISS in South Sudan in June 2014 and is planning new deployments. It also recently opened a Peacekeeping Training Centre—the sixth in Southeast Asia.

  • Uzbek President Reins in Security Service
    Uzbek President Reins In Security Service Once-mighty intelligence agency weakened by a serious shake-up. Uzbek president Shavkat Mirziyoyev has launched a major reorganisation of the powerful National Security Service (SNB) in what appears to be the most ambitious series of reforms since he took power in December 2016. In mid-March, Mirziyoyev issued a decree slashing the powers of an intelligence agency long seen as a repressive secret police – a month after the resignation of formidable chairman Rustam Inoyatov, who had headed the Uzbek president Shavkat Mirziyoyev. (Photo: Press SNB since 1995. Service of the Uzbek President) Mirziyoyev’s decree transferred responsibility for a range of issues, including the security of state institutions, from SNB to the Interior Ministry (MVD) as of April 1. Other tasks, including building and maintaining security installations, will be transferred to the ministry of defence. The SNB was also renamed the State Security Service (GSB). The president made clear that what he described as the “unjustified expansion” of the agency’s authority would end. In the past, “any local issue could be seen as a national security threat. This reorganisation will draw the attention of the agency to the real state-level threats”. The decree also specifies that the intelligence agencies must “strictly uphold people’s rights, freedoms and legitimate interests” as well as protecting the state from external and Uzbek President Reins In Security Service internal threats. Although the SNB is a large agency with numerous departments throughout the country and an extensive agent network abroad, Mirziyoyev said that its centralised control had “contributed to unjustified intervention in all spheres of the activities of state authorities”.
