 Cross border is a major threat to the internal and external security of Nepal. To maintain peace and security and neutralize illicit trade, smuggling, and cross-border crimes, the Government of Nepal has deployed Security forces at the border. The Indo-Nepal border comparatively is challenging due to its open border status. This paper analyses the field issues faced by security personnel at border areas of Nepal. The study uses both primary and secondary data for analysis and interpretation. The findings show geographical problems, socio-economic similarities, operational problems, border laws, values, and ethics. These issues are faced by security forces daily. The study outcome suggests a need for a collaborative approach of stakeholders on strengthening border security.


Anti-social elements in the global environment are challenging the society with their destructive activities. Mobile land vehicle robots are becoming a crucial player in National security, search and rescue operations, surveillance networks, border security forces. In order to reduce the chances of danger towards human lives, a land vehicle robot is designed to detect an anomaly that may rise up as a potential threat on the earthly surface surveyed powered via a PV channel. This robot can penetrate the no-man’s area with great precision so as to spot the mines, bombs, missiles, explosives and threats on land. Improvement in border security leads to enhancement of high precision sensors generating an extensive stream of data and databases. The intent of this research is to adjunct the robot with human intelligence that can assist in real-time decision making from the stream of data.

Systematized are features of international cooperation of states in the interests of ensuring border security in the context of globalizing world processes, that causes an increase in number of different levels of tasks and problems that arise in the process of forming relations between states on the international platform. The article is focused on feasibility and international experience of integrated management of activities of state bodies at borders within the framework of international cooperation. Analyzed are features of European management model that has prospects for its implementation in a number of European countries outside the European Union, as well as in Central Asia, incl. the Republic of Kazakhstan. Attention is focused on incorrect terminological use of such phrases, as “integrated border management”, “integrated border management”, or “coordinated border management”, that does not correspond to the semantic essence. The correct phrase was introduced, i.e. “integrated management of activities of state bodies at the borders”. The article analyzes features of international cooperation models, based on examples of the CIS member countries and member countries of the Eurasian economic community, African countries and Scandinavian countries in the issues of integrated management of activities of state bodies at borders. Prospects for further researches are determined.

This study aims at understanding how the perceptions about migrants have been created and transferred into daily life as a stigmatization by means of public perception, media and state law implementations.  The focus would be briefly what kind of consequences these perceptions and stigmatization might lead. First section will examine the background of migration to Turkey briefly and make a summary of migration towards Turkey by 90s. Second section will briefly evaluate the preferential legal framework, which constitutes the base for official discourse differentiating the migrants and implementations of security forces that can be described as discriminatory. The third section deals with the impact of perceptions influential in both formation and reproduction of inclusive and exclusive practices towards migrant women. Additionally, impact of public perception in classifying the migrants and migratory processes would be dealt in this section.

In 1980, a death squad linked to business tycoons and military commanders murdered Archbishop Oscar Romero for denouncing widespread repression and poverty in El Salvador. Romero was known as the “voice of the voiceless,” and his criticism of the oligarchs who dominated the economy and the Security Forces that tortured and murdered civilians made Romero a military target. Two decades after his assassination, the Center for Justice & Accountability (CJA) found one of the conspirators, Álvaro Saravia, living in California and launched a wide-ranging investigation into the death squad and its financiers. This book chronicles the life and death of the Catholic martyr, examining his actions and situating his years as archbishop in the broader context of the Salvadoran clergy’s embrace of Liberation Theology. It also analyzes, through excerpts from witness interviews and trial testimony, the mindset of the death squad members, their leader Roberto D’Aubuisson, and their wealthy backers, that propelled them to want Romero dead. The U.S. government played an important and contradictory role in developing the death squads and funding the military from which they sprang while also investigating their crimes and seeking to keep them in check. Within this complicated historical context, the book provides a first-hand account of the investigation and U.S. legal case that led to the only court verdict ever reached for Archbishop Romero’s murder.

By late August, the crisis that had been brewing between the prime minister and president came to a head; Abbas's government, though backed by the United States, had been undermined during its four months in office by deterioration on the ground and continuing tensions with Arafat, which centered in particular on control of the Palestinian security forces. Abbas's letter of resignation, published in al-Hayat on 9 September, was translated in Mideast Mirror the same day.
