The Ukrainian delegation is expected in 2017 to provide for the consideration of member States of the UN security Council a draft decision on improving the protection of critical infrastructure from terrorist attacks.
The Ukrainian delegation initiated in the UN Security Council meeting on protection of critical infrastructure from terrorist attacks with the aim of uniting international efforts to counter such threats.
About it writes UKRINFORM.
“The intensification of terrorist activities of organizations such as al-Qaeda, DL, Boko Haram, Al-Shabab, al-Nusra and others, requires the international community to consolidate efforts to develop modern methods of protection of critical infrastructure. First of all, it concerns the fields of telecommunications, industry, transport, oil and gas production”, – said the permanent representative of Ukraine to the United Nations Volodymyr Yelchenko.
The Ukrainian side has proposed an integrated approach that will facilitate the implementation of such tasks. There is a strengthening of cooperation at the interagency level, the exchange of data on existing threats and vulnerabilities of infrastructure. In addition, this includes risk assessment and crisis management, as well as to improve methods of prevention and counteraction to attacks (physical and electronic) for such facilities. Another important factor is public-private partnership in the field of security.
