A high-level seminar on the role of the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC) in combating terrorism was held in Warsaw, Poland, 22-23 February 2002. This major event was organised within the framework of the EAPC Action Plan for 2002-2004 which provides for ways of exploring new cooperative approaches to fighting terrorism.
The EAPC, which brings together NATO and Partner countries, pledged to undertake all efforts to combat terrorism after the 11 September 2001 attacks against the United States. This seminar gave experts, academics and representatives from NATO and other international organisations such as the UN, the OSCE, the EU and the CIS, the opportunity to address different facets of the problem.
Among the issues discussed were the importance of cooperation between international organisations and the need to exchange information on sources of terrorism and the identification of threats. Participants also raised the question of training anti-terrorist units and rescue teams and discussed the issue of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) proliferation and possible WMD-related terrorist threats. Cooperation in civil emergency planning was also raised, with emphasis on assistance to national authorities in improving preparedness against the possible use of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear agents and civil-military cooperation in warning and detection.
