Klaarwakker en paraat: minister Hillen over het groeiende risico van onveiligheid
May 15, 2012.
Tijdens de bijeenkomst over de NAVO-top in Chicago van de Atlantische Commissie op 14 mei 2012 sprak minister van Defensie Hans Hillen over het groeiende risico van onveiligheid. In dit kader refereerde hij naar de Clingendael Strategische Monitor 2012: 'In de Strategische Monitor 2012 komt het Instituut Clingendael tot de conclusie dat het internationale systeem zich naar een onzekerder situatie heeft bewogen en beweegt. Het risico van onveiligheid is toegenomen. Volgens dat rapport, getiteld "Continuïteit en onzekerheid in een veranderende wereld", moet rekening worden gehouden met een groeiend aantal indirecte risico’s. Een aanval op het NAVO-grondgebied kan niet worden uitgesloten. Ook de bedreiging met cybermiddelen, de onzekere energievoorziening en de kwetsbaarheid van logistieke lijnen naar onze landen zijn een groeiende zorg voor de toekomst. Inmiddels komt daar ook nog de haperende economie bij, met alle verstoringen en onrust van dien. De democratische rechtsstaat moet in onze jaren klaarwakker zijn, 24/7. Klaarwakker en paraat. Onze belangen zijn wereldwijd. De bedreigingen daarvan zijn dus ook wereldwijd. Er is heel veel werk aan de winkel.', aldus minister Hillen.
