Regional Anti-terrorism Coordination Centre

Ceroo will also pledge support for such a scheme.
We can offer the former building of the Quasiqueue Inteligence Service in Quasiqueue City to be used as HQ for the ATCC. It is well protected and has telecommunications equipment left intact, with a little modification it could be adapted to ideally serve it's purpose.

[Urban Ranger]

In light of the recent events in Centralis, we should put the ATCC into operation as soon as possible.

His Holiness, Emperor Komnenus IV would like to state that he supports such an "anti-terrorism office" and would like to ask what the office might request of his nation. However, he also worries that this office may be overstepping its said boundaries.

He worries that the office perhaps does not have any authority to define military extremists as terrorists and would not support any such action against them.

Iguana Fire considers the rebels merely to be that, rebels, sepratists, not terrorists.

[Jack_www]

We would like to join this anti terrorism office. The USJ has been commited to routing our terrorism were ever it is in the world. And we would to join.

[DarkCloud]

Iguana Fire is also interested in whether the leader of the Anti-Terrorism office is going to be elected or merely be appointed?

Iguana Fire is also interested in whether the leader of the Anti-Terrorism office is going to be elected or merely be appointed?

We imagine he would be elected by the members of the ATCC.

[DarkCloud]

"Thus," Iguana Fire's foreign minister wishes to know, "When will the ATCC leader be elected and what will his title and exact duties include?"

[GeneralTacticus]

As far as we know:

1) Whenever is convenient.

2) What kind of title would be needed?

3) Probably just administration.

This will be for our members to determine and refine.

But really in Ceroo, we class terrorism as violence or the threat of violence against civilian and other non-military targets or on targets within another nation.
(targeting military targets of an occupying force would make you a freedom fighter).

Although this could be further refined to incorporate and accomade the views of fellow ATCC members.

[DarkCloud]

So in essence, terrorism is just fighting against the status quo

[GeneralTacticus]

Not necessarily. Terrorism can also be used to try to preserve the status quo, as we have seen in many colonial wars throughout history.

[Drogue]

The Commonwealth of Akiria is still observing, and does not wish to join yet, as we are worried that that definition of Terrorism could be used as a means for other Nations to intervene in the Sovereignty of a Nation, and do not wish to be forced to act against our will.
