In the fight against terrorism, national agencies keep full control over their police forces, security and intelligence agencies and judicial authorities.

If you combat an international phenomenon, it is indispensable to share information internationally.

We remain vulnerable.There is no such thing as 100 percent security against terrorism.

In intelligence work, there are limits to the amount of information one can share. Confidentiality is essential.

The central role in the fight against terrorism is with national authorities.

Police forces collect information to be used in a public court to get people convicted. Security services gather information that does not necessarily lead to people being prosecuted and in many cases needs to remain confidential.

In situations of military conflict, civil strife, lawlessness, bad governance, and human rights violations, terrorists find it easier to hide, train and prepare their attacks.
