Some 150 participants gathered in Ljubljana, Slovenia, from 27 June to1 July, for a NATO-Russia Council (NRC) conference on "Lessons learnedfrom recent terrorist attacks: Building national capabilities andinstitutions". The event was organised in the framework of the NRCAction Plan on Terrorism, which was developed in the wake of theterrorist attack on the school in Beslan, Russia, last September, andapproved by NRC Foreign Ministers in December 2004.
Experts from Russia, Spain, Turkey and the United States gave detailedaccounts of the terrorist atrocities that have been perpetrated ontheir territories in recent years. They focused both on the challengesencountered by their national authorities while managing theconsequences of the terrorist acts, and on how the lessons learned fromthat experience have since been integrated into policies and practice.All stressed the need to continue to share experience and work togetherto further solidify common defences against terrorism.
Expert working groups then discussed in detail national policies andpriorities in nine different areas: site security, medical response,civil enforcement and investigations, military roles and tasks,airspace control and monitoring, interagency and vertical coordination,building responsive legislation and institutions, the nature ofterrorist organisations and operations, and hostage negotiation andrescue.
