Ukrainian border security and WMD terrorism
12 October 2007
1 MIN READ
A multinational team of 12 experts held an advanced training course for the Ukrainian Border Guard Academy in Varna, Bulgaria, from 8 to 12 October 2007, to train the trainers in how to combat the risk of terrorists acquiring weapons of mass destruction (WMD) through improved border security.
This course was sponsored by the NATO Science for Peace and Security Programme.
WMD proliferation is one of the most serious security challenges facing the international community in the 21st century and border security has a key role to play in addressing it. This event has helped the Ukrainian Border Guard Academy to familiarize themselves with the latest form of training tools that could be used to train border guards to tackle the threat of WMD terrorism.
The aim of the course was to help the Ukrainian Border Guard Academy to develop a new training module and associated training material on this subject, and then to train the staff to run their own courses and exercises. A number of key training staff from other related border-management agencies -- the Ukrainian Customs Service, Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Interior National Police Organized Crime Unit and the State Security Service -- were also invited to attend parts of the course, so as to enhance the institutional knowledge within these agencies.
The advanced training course was developed by the UK-based Euroborders Ltd. in cooperation with the headquarters of the Ukrainian Border Guard Service.
