Project Summary |
We propose to hold a workshop on the margins of SOM3 2015 in Cebu, Philippines, to raise awareness of participants’ understanding of the threat that foreign terrorist fighter (FTF) travel poses to the region and to expand participants’ understanding of the mechanisms that exist to help mitigate that threat. This workshop would provide individuals from working-level customs, border, transportation, interior, and foreign ministries the opportunity to develop or reinforce the capacities to prevent FTF travel. This project will further implementation of the APEC Consolidated Counter-Terrorism and Secure Trade Strategy by: enhancing participants understanding of the threat of FTF travel in the region; increasing knowledge of both responsibilities regarding and good practices for addressing FTF travel; and increasing participation of APEC member economies in international information sharing mechanisms on FTF travel.
