Crime and Terrorism Control |

| Drug control, crime
deterrence and terrorism prevention - which are
high priorities for our countries - could be pursued
in isolation. But I believe this would be an error.
Drugs, crime and terrorism inter-act profoundly
with peace, security, development and the rule of
law. Therefore they should be dealt with in the
context of societies' global aspirations. To explain
this, let me use a metaphor. Imagine you are asked
to design the architecture for a safer world. Rule
of law would provide the framework. The structure
would need a strong social foundation. Development
would ensure that your house is liveable. Security
would keep it safe, while peace would maintain good
neighbourly relations. For the detailed report do
