Defense News December 17, 2009 NATO's New Strategic Concept: Cyberdefence Under Discussion By JULIAN HALE BRUSSELS: Madeleine Albright said here Dec. 16 that cyberdefense is one of the threats being discussed by the NATO Strategic Concept expert group but that the group had yet to come to any conclusions about it. Albright, the former U.S. Secretary of State, is the chair of the 12-member expert group, which has held two seminars to date. Alliance officials are aiming to finalize the new concept by the time of NATO's next summit, likely in late 2010 or early 2011. The East-West division is gone, she said, stressing how important it was that the concept dealt with terrorism, nuclear non-proliferation, and the growing gap between the rich and the poor. "There are divisions between north and south as well as other divisions that make the international system very hard to categorize at the moment," she said. She called Afghanistan very important, but said that "as an expert group member, we must look at Afghanistan and beyond Afghanistan." For one thing, lessons from Afghanistan in terms of cooperation with non-NATO partners needed to be taken forward, she said. The expert group will meet in February to discuss the concept further. =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: rwroz...@yahoo.com or stopnato-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Daily digest option available. ============================== --------------------------- ANTI-NATO INFORMATION LIST --^---------------------------------------------------------------- This email was sent to: arch...@mail-archive.com EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.bNM5nn.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: antinato-unsubscr...@topica.com For Topica's complete suite of email marketing solutions visit: http://www.topica.com/?p=TEXFOOTER --^----------------------------------------------------------------
