Короткий опис(реферат):
Висвітлено дестабілізаційний вплив морського тероризму на світову продовольчу безпеку
та можливості оперативних підрозділів розвідувальних служб у протидії цьому негативному явищу.
Визначено, що проблема морського тероризму сьогодні залишається однією з найактуальніших, що
значно впливає на торгове судноплавство в певних районах Світового океану, а також на стан
регіональної безпеки. Підсумовується, що успішна протидія морському тероризму, котрий
безпосередньо створює загрозу світовій продовольчій безпеці, що наочно продемонстрували
російські терористи, напряму залежить від ефективної діяльності оперативних підрозділів шляхом
здобуття розвідувальної інформації та обміну цією інформацією в межах міжнародного
співробітництва. Адже, враховуючи транскордонний характер морського тероризму, тільки
консолідовані міжнародні зусилля забезпечать успіх контртерористичних заходів. The article highlights the
destabilizing impact of maritime terrorism on global food security and the capabilities of operational units
of intelligence services in countering this negative phenomenon.
It was determined that the problem of maritime terrorism today remains one of the most relevant
and significantly affects merchant shipping in certain areas of the World Ocean, as well as the state of
regional security. It is noted that successful countermeasures and the fight against maritime terrorism
under modern conditions are not possible without coordination of the efforts of the international
community and the development of regional cooperation in terms of the exchange of operative data.
It was found that, despite their similarities, the concepts of maritime terrorism and piracy have a
fundamental difference. Pirates are organized criminal gangs of bandits and robbers, whose goal is to
make a living obtaining a ransom for ships and cargo. Terrorists are killers with certain ideological
beliefs. They commit terrorist attacks, making certain political or religious demands.
According to official reports, in recent years there has been a decrease in the number of attacks
on ships, although a few years ago, this indicator was increasing. Such a fact could be considered
positive, but it is not. After all, maritime terrorism today reaches a new organizational level, which
increases the level of its danger.
It is established that the scale, preparedness and consequences of terrorist attacks on maritime
objects are increasing, and therefore, there is a transition from quantitative to qualitative indicators. That
is, numerous pirate captures of sea vessels rise to the level of well-planned maritime terrorist acts, the
main goal of which is not so much obtaining material benefits as influencing geopolitical processes
through the creation of artificial food crises.
Successful countermeasures against maritime terrorism, which directly poses a threat to world
food security, as clearly demonstrated by Russian terrorists, directly depends on the effective operation of
operational units, by obtaining intelligence information and being able to exchange this information
within the framework of international cooperation. After all, given the cross-border nature of maritime
terrorism, only consolidated international efforts will ensure anti-terrorist success.
