<p><em>Securing High-Containment Biological Labs Can Avert Next Pandemic</em></p> <p>Chemical and biological weapons had become the best alternative to nuclear weapons for rogue States and non-State actors, the First Committee (Disarmament and International Security) heard today as it concluded its thematic debate on weapons of mass destruction and opened debate on conventional weapons. </p> <p>The path to chemical and biological weapons was easier and cheaper than developing a nuclear bomb, said Myanmar’s representative.  The “poor man’s atomic bomb” could be created using equipment and materials that had a host of civilian applications.  He urged the international community to tighten its grip on their proliferation and added a call to strengthen the Biological Weapons Convention.  Its lack of a verification system weakened its effectiveness and relevance.</p> <p>Deeply concerned about the risk, India’s representative tabled its annual resolution on the dangers of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the potential for their exploitation by non-State actors (document A/77/C.1/L.60).  The text urged support for international efforts to combat that threat, as well as strengthen national measures.  India had a robust national export‑control system and a control list of sensitive material, equipment and technologies consistent with the highest international standards.</p> <p>Similarly, the representative of Bangladesh expressed concern over the growing possibility of terrorists and other non-State actors using or gaining access to weapons of mass destruction.  The COVID-19 pandemic had revealed global vulnerability to the potentially catastrophic consequences of pathogens and other biological threats, he said, calling for an international body mandated to investigate suspected outbreaks of biological agents.</p> <p>Indeed, said Pakistan’s speaker, the COVID-19 pandemic had laid bare the fragilities of the global public health architecture, including the intersecting issues of life sciences, viruses and infectious diseases.  There were important lessons for the Biological Weapons Convention regime from the pandemic, such as the mutually reinforcing nature of its prevention and protection aspects, as well as the urgency of amplifying international assistance and cooperation in the field of life sciences.</p> <p>“We have witnessed and experienced the catastrophe of a pandemic and we cannot afford to have another,” the representative of Sri Lanka said.  He sought a harmonized international regime that ensured biosafety and biosecurity.  Confidence-building measures among States would facilitate greater information‑exchange within the research community and create trust for a verifiable common standard against biological weapons.</p> <p>Dual-use material was worrying, agreed Colombia’s representative, who supported bolstering biological control mechanism to prevent access and weaponization by non-State actors.  She advocated for international cooperation in the field of biocontainment to enhance capacity to prevent and respond to those types of threats, asserting that the pandemic had highlighted the need to safeguard that material for strictly peaceful use.</p> <p>While biological weapons were “poorly regulated”, chemical weapons were under intense scrutiny, said Brazil’s speaker.  It was unfortunate that, even with all the institutional apparatuses, “much to his revulsion”, chemical weapons were still used.</p> <p>Algeria’s representative said that the Chemical Weapons Convention had made progress, but faced challenges at all levels in today’s changing world.  He welcomed reductions in chemical weapons stockpiles, but said divisions among States parties were concerning.</p> <p>Also speaking on weapons of mass destruction were representatives of China, Russian Federation, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Spain, Republic of Korea, Czech Republic, Kazakhstan, Türkiye, Japan, Cuba, Hungary, Syria, Israel, Ireland, Angola, <a>Ukraine</a> and Iran.</p> <p>Exercising the right of reply were representatives of the Russian Federation, United States, <a>Syria</a> and Ukraine.</p> <p>Speaking on the theme of conventional weapons were representatives of Cambodia (on behalf of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)), Mexico, Canada, Egypt, <a>Finland</a> and Norway.</p> <blockquote><p><em><strong>Detailed Report cane be read here: <a href="https://press.un.org/en/2022/gadis3693.doc.htm">UN PRESS Report</a>, OCTOBER 19,

India’s intelligence infrastructure lacks a holistic view and very less effort has been put to reorganize intelligence infrastructure on the basis of contemporary threat perceptions. Without a strong security infrastructure country cannot eye towards becoming a regional power. Due to a rigid security system, India has a disparate intelligence mechanism in service. While little effort has gone towards synergizing all sources of intelligence and request dissemination in real time/ near real time basis. To address these concerns, the external intelligence infrastructure primarily needs to undergo a drastic review. Secondly, it needs to be ascertained that the failure in generation of intelligence on strategic level is not due to the failure in action but due to its inherent structure. Although many efforts have gone in to recognize the problems faced by the agencies, less effort have been veined in to provide a good organizational structure based on the problems faced by these agencies. This paper attempts to outline a number of points, which would help to develop a more superior external intelligence infrastructure.</p> <h3><a href="../sites/default/files/india-external-intelligence_0.pdf">Download Research Paper</a></h3> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/pushkar/templates/New folder/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-authornote--researchpaper.html.twig * field--node--field-authornote.html.twig * field--node--researchpaper.html.twig * field--field-authornote.html.twig * field--string-long.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/pushkar/templates/New folder/field/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-authornote field--type-string-long field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Author Note</div> <div class="field__item">Shantanu K.

Over the years, the capability and intentions of Islamic jihadist groups have changed. They evidently prefer for more destructive and spectacular methods. This can be very well argued that if these weapons systems, materials or technologies were made available to them, they probably would use it against their enemy to maximize the impact and fear factor. Even though no terrorist group, including the Al Qaeda, so far has achieved success in employing these destructive and disruptive weapons systems or materials, in reality, various terrorist groups have been seeking to acquire WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction/Disruption) materials and its know-how.</p> <p>Much of the literature focused on these speculations and debates during the last decade have shed enough light on the unlikelihood or impossibility of chem- bioterrorism inflicted by Islam-centric Jihadist groups. The argument against the possibilities of such terrorism mostly centered on the premise that technological challenges would be a hindrance for Jihadist groups to weaponize the chem/biomaterials (or pathogens) and deliver them to cause a catastrophic event. This is also somewhat substantiated by the lack of real terrorist events involving chemical or biological weapon materials. Besides events like 2001 Anthrax scare and the 1995 Japanese Subway attacks by Aum Shinrikyo cult, so far chemical or biological weapons have not played a major role in jihadi operations.</p> <p>However, many Islamic ideologues and jihadists have accepted the use of biological and chemical weapons as a legitimate act of war for mass killings of non-believers. In 2003, Saudi cleric Nasir bin Hamd al-Fahd brought out a treatise on the legal status of using weapons for mass killings, especially against non-believers. Anti-west Islamic clerics like Kuwaiti Professor Abdullah Nafisi reignited the debate on the possibility of chem-bio terrorism events by non-state actors or Islamic Jihadists thereby forcing the naysayers to rethink their conclusions regarding the WMD terrorism event.</p> <p>There are also newer evidences that suggest that groups like Al Qaeda and its most violent offshoot, the Islamic State (formerly ISIS), are more than capable of using chemical and biological weapon materials targeting civilian population or military. Their intentions to use these types of weapons have been made clear through available jihadi literature. The religious extremists, whether in Pakistan or in Syria, want to take over the State and its military arsenals, industries and infrastructures. Such a mindset amongst the extremists has increased the spectre of chem/bioterrorism scenarios in multitude in recent years.</p> <p>Moreover, the looming threat is no more based on fear or imagination.
