CROSS BORDER CRIMES – A GROWING THREAT TO GLOBAL SECURITY
Downloads
Abstract
Mobilization is a concept that is too good for the people of the world, at large, to be entrusted with. It is in sync with the concept of giving a serial killer a loaded rifle and leaving him free in a crowd of people at Times Square. A fort knox on steroids, mass casualties being the outcome. It essentially involves putting the killing thing right at his thumb and giving him all the power to take as many down as he can; this is a metaphor. Now let’s take a literal look at this concept - at the globally pervasive plague of cross-border crimes and how mobilization appears to be acting as the promoter and catalyst in this mass degenerative reaction.
Terrorism, in and of itself, is a persistent cross-border crime that has become so rampant that we seem to have become sensitized to it now. Over the years, terrorism has become a way of life for people in two antagonistic ways wherein the victims spend their time and resources, recuperating from the loss of blood, lives and peace while preparing for the next time, and the perpetrators just watch the world burn while collecting more gasoline, for the next time. The major conflict that impedes the governing system from effectively dealing with this problem is the existing system of law or lack thereof, as the case may be. I would like to analyse the intricacies of my assertions with the help of some examples and then emphasise upon why this nagging concern needs to be combatted with utmost urgency.
