TERRORISM, KIDNAPPING, AND SABOTAGE OVERSEAS DISCUSSED IN RELATION TO PREVENTIVE SECURITY MEASURES AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION OF SECURITY FORCES.

Abstract

IN DEVELOPING SECURITY MEASURES FOR AMERICAN DIGNITARIES, IT IS STRESSED THAT INDUSTRIES MUST RELY ON LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES OVERSEAS, AND THAT CAREFUL RELATIONS WITH THE HOST COUNTRY SHOULD BE MAINTAINED. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT COMPANIES DEVELOP PLANS FOR DEALING WITH TERRORISM. THE NEED FOR PHYSICAL SECURITY MEASURES IN COMPANY PROPERTIES, AND THE PROBLEMS WHICH MAY ARISE FROM THE USE OF LOCAL SECURITY PERSONNEL ARE OUTLINED. TOTAL PROTECTION AGAINST ACCIDENTS AND INTENTIONAL ACTS IS SEEN AS NECESSARY TO PROTECT THE INDIVIDUALS CONCERNED. PLANNING INVOLVING CAREFUL INTELLIGENCE INVESTIGATIONS OF THE SITUATION, ESTABLISHMENT OF LIAISON WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES, AND ON-SITE INSPECTIONS OF FACILITIES ARE ALL LISTED AS ESSENTIAL SECURITY MEASURES.
