3 - Of course, as I told you, both trends exist together in the terrorist context.
So, hostage situations, all of them, but maybe especially implicit ones, these total and permanent ones that global terrorism generates, should be considered the ultimate crime against Human Rights.
The response that satisfies the principle of due proportionality is, while trusting one's own people, to fight back in order to eradicate the cause of the hostage situation. This means combating terrorism.
· Trust. Political leaders and local governments have to make a clear choice that minimizes constraint and associates people. This might be thought of in the same way as neighborhood watches and reserves that work with diverse law enforcement agencies.
· Fight. Designation of the enemy is a "regalian power", one of the fundamental powers reserved to governments, based on sovereignty. That designation is necessary even if now the protoplasmic and hybrid groups we have to face are more and more difficult to identify.
But, as long as the enemy is clearly identified, the principle of reciprocity may authorize intelligence based proactive actions to eradicate terrorism.
That may be the way to terminate the global hostage situation we currently suffer.
Thank you for your attention.
