The document summarizes the development of UK counterterrorism strategy and legislation since the Northern Ireland conflict. It describes the evolving threat from Islamist terrorism. The UK adopted the CONTEST strategy in 2003 with four pillars (Prevent, Pursue, Protect, Prepare) and established new agencies like JTAC. Legislation expanded police powers and allowed control orders and detention without trial. Critics argue these measures undermine civil liberties and fair trials. Reviews propose modest changes but retain broad imprecise offenses and executive powers based on suspicion rather than evidence.
Terrorism is an historical as well as a universal phenomenon; has been practiced by every type of organisation, religious or non-religious, right-wing or left-wing.Consequently, the reasons for the terrorist activity and the identity of those who carry out these acts are always subject to the context, time and place.Unfortunately, there is no consensus on its accurate definition. More than one hundred definitions in the field; one country’s terrorists are other country’s freedom fighters. Rather than seeking the causes of terrorism itself, a better approach is to determine the conditions that make terror possible or likely.Stopping violence is rarely simple or easy. Only time and commitment by a majority of the parties involved can resolve a conflict. Keeping in view the multidimensional nature of terrorism, we must adopt a long term holistic and comprehensive approach for its eradication.
This presentation is an attempt to encompass the various issues related to this complex phemenon and presents a plan of action to control this menace
Brief presentation of Terrorism which includes the definition of terrorism. It is also packed with the discussion regarding terrorism both in Philippine and international setting. It also tackles the CPP-NPA-NDF which is the most famous and prominent terrorist groups in the Philippines.

Terrorism in International Law: The struggle to define terrorismAnthony Veluz
International Criminal Justice.
In our ICJ module we are required to do a presentation in each seminar on the week's topic area. Our presentation would usually consist of one of:
- literature review
- case review
- current issues
For our final seminar we had to give a presentation on one of the following topics:
- aggression
- terrorism
- torture
My presentation was on terrorism and I mainly looked at the literature on this area, with the odd case and current issues included. My primary focus was on the definition of terrorism as I couldn't find a universally accepted definition and looked at the problems this caused. The battle against terrorism is difficult enough, hampered by the absence of a definition. I examine the reasons as to why there isn't a definition, the difficulties in establishing one, the effect of establishing one, and therefore answering the question whether a definition of terrorism is actually needed.

Global economic crisis, starvation and terrorism counter strategiesDr. Raju M. Mathew
Global economic crisis, poverty and starvation, religious fundamentalism and terrorism are interconnected and based on inter-sector imbalances against the rural and farming sectors. The most effective strategy to deal with these complex issues is to upgrade the status of the rural and farming sectors on a par with the Industrial and Service Sectors. A five fold investment is required. Other wise, these problems will persist and aggravate.

Intelligence as a set of permanent institutions dates back only to the second half of the nineteenth century. But as information and news - in the dictionary meaning used in English since the middle of the fifteenth century, of 'knowledge as to events, communicated by or obtained from another, especially military' - it has always been collected as part of warfare
For a military, it can mean knowledge of the enemy and can distinguish between to defeat and to lose because information means knowledge and knowledge are power. Analysts see it as a package of information pending for clarification, and policymakers consider they should be informed so that they can meet the needs, stated or understood.
Intelligence gathers under the same umbrella the informational component of national security, internal and external policies, as well as certain aspects of international security in the case of global cross-entities (states, organizations).
This presentation is built up by gathering information from different references (Book, Articles, and Newspapers) by the author.
Create an analytical PowerPoint presentation with a minimum of 20 slides for the next incoming President and his or her transition team that outlines the necessary balance between homeland security and emergency management.
Include in your recommendations to the incoming POTUS the relationship between homeland security and emergency management.

•The Bill of Rights
•The Geneva Conventions
•The Military Code of Conduct
•The Posse Comitatus Act
•The core purposes behind Homeland Security
Include the following in your presentation:
• A brief history of issues that have emerged regarding the relationship between homeland security and emergency management in the 9/11 environment
• The value of these issues as they relate to the disaster management cycle, e.g., mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery
• The value of these issues as they relate to homeland security and emergency management
• The development of new protocols to improve the relationship between homeland security and emergency management
• Recommendations for effective decisions that create public value in the area of homeland security and emergency management

1. The Nuclear terrorist threat, even with today's countermeasures, is possible. Former United States president Barrack Obama in April 2009 warned that the terrorist threat using nuclear weaponry is real and that it is an immediate and extreme threat to global security. The Nuclear terrorist threat has different approaches or methods, such as bombs or an attack towards nuclear power plants or other nuclear installations, with the sole purpose of provoking a chain reaction that can result in a radioactive catastrophe. Furthermore, even when the United States Regulatory commission advertises that nuclear power plants can withstand even an aircraft crash, this could compromise the containment building's integrity. Also, radioactive waste stored in different portions of the mentioned powerplants can be targets of a terrorist groups unleashing up to five times radioactive waste as a reactor core. Moreover, Governmental studies reveal that highly organized terrorist groups could acquire Plutonium to create a crude nuclear bomb, a device built from stolen components or rich atomic material. The Nuclear threat is real, and even when strongly organized countries with nuclear weapon capabilities have prevention systems and countermeasures to prevent weapon proliferation, the danger is alarming. In 1993, the International Atomic Energy Agency reported more than 175 nuclear trafficking's 18 that involved highly enriched weapons with uranium or Plutonium. Furthermore, there is claims and report by the Russian general Alexander Lebed that 40 nuclear weapons are missing from the Russian Arsenal. However, a radioactive terrorist attack should not be only considered by the use of nuclear weaponry. An attempt at a nuclear installation is also a terrorist nuclear threat due to this can provoke the same or more damages than a bomb.
2. The threat of nuclear weapons acquired in the hands of terrorists is improbable, but still, the risk exist. According to the Department of Homeland Security, at a certain point, nuclear, radiological, biological, and chemical warfare represents a threat in terms of potentially harmful and fatal impacts on society and the economy (West, 2012). While at this time, there is no actual record of any terrorist organization ever acquiring nuclear weapons or materials, society still holds a fear of any terrorist organization having a position of said weapons. Terrorist organizations make unconfirmed claims of having nuclear weapons in place to disrupt a targeted society's peace of mind. According to the lesson, during the 20th century, nuclear weapons were a hot commodity on the black market (American Military University, 2020). However, they were nearly impossible to get a hold of, so radiological dispersal devices or dirty bombs were replacing them. The reasoning behind this would be the cost of purchasing, acquiring, and holding a nuclear device was too high for a well-funding terrori.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

11. Assessing the Threat - Joint
Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC)
The international terrorist threat to the UK has evolved considerably
since 2001. There has been a significant increase in the number of
people involved in Islamist extremism. Al Qaida continues to pose
the foremost international terrorist threat and the most significant
long-term threat to the UK. It has developed increasingly
sophisticated methods, in particular using the Internet and
videos/DVDs, to promote its propaganda which has helped to
spread extremist ideologies and techniques to a worldwide
audience. However, a more diverse threat picture is emerging. Al
Qaida's affiliates and allies across the world pose an increasing
threat to the UK and to UK interests in their regions. There is also
an underlying, unpredictable threat from people who are inspired,
but not trained or directed, by Al Qaida.
JTAC created in 2003 to coordinate all terrorism-related intelligence

26. Alternative ‘justice’ system
Control, restriction of liberty:
No evidence, or
Evidence that cannot be publicly presented
(or therefore tested) in court
Leads to the need for pre-emptive action via the:
(closed) Special Immigration Appeals
Commission (SIAC), with vetted advocates
reasons unknown, evidence unknown 26
27. The contemporary relevance
‘We will urgently review
Control Orders, as part of a
wider review of counter-
terrorist legislation, measures
and programmes. We will
seek to find a practical way to
allow the use of intercept
evidence in court’
27
www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOm17KH1SKc 4.41
28. Liberty: “Our objections to
Control Orders”
1. Unsafe. Dangerous terrorists should not be in their living rooms
but convicted and imprisoned. A genuine terrorist can easily remove
plastic tags and disappear, as some controlees have.
2. Unfair. Innocent people should not be subjected to years and
years of punishment without trial. Control orders place
dehumanizing sanctions on people based on suspicion rather than
evidence.
3. Against the British traditions of justice and liberty .
They undermine the presumption of innocence,… right to a fair trial.
4. There are alternatives to control orders... Liberty urges
the government to use criminal law and the courts to lock up …
terrorists, and to allow the use of intercept evidence in court.

29. Conclusion:
organisational breadth and resources
Comprehensive national police,
intelligence agency and overseas
military strategy
Government, other Public agencies,
Private companies
offences gradually defined in the broadest, and most
imprecise, terms - ‘any conduct in preparation’
Dramatic increase in resource
human, technical, military, border security
29
30. Conclusion:
precautious, precautionary, & pre-
emptive social control
Uncertainty, leading to extreme pre-emptive
measures
preventative detention, control
Legal precision is a hindrance
offences gradually defined in the broadest, and
most imprecise, terms - ‘any conduct in
preparation’
From knowledge equals power, to lack of
knowledge equals increased executive power
30
31. Conclusion:
Coalition ‘review findings and
recommendations’ for Control Orders
From ‘suspect’, to ‘reasonable grounds
to believe’
Time limited preventative control; more ‘flexibility’;
‘restrictions should facilitate surveillance’
Continuing legal duty on police to
gather evidence
No substantive changes to breadth, and imprecision
of ‘any conduct in preparation’.
- SIAC to be subject to later review of ‘sensitive
material in judicial proceeding’
