The Second Global Forum for Law Enforcement and National Security

'Security Governance and Homeland Defence - Learning Lessons, Creating Partnerships and Finding Solutions to Meet New Challenges'
11-13 June 2002
1 Great George Street, London

After the events of 11 September and the attention now focused on national security, the second Global Forum for Law Enforcement and National Security is uniquely placed to review the lessons learnt and examine the road ahead.

The security issues of the future clearly extend beyond terrorism. Organised crime, militant activism, cyberwarfare, environmental pollution, money-laundering and corruption all undermine the security of nations and corporations, governments and governed. Without doubt, the collective threat is real and growing.


The sovereign remedy that has been universally prescribed has been based on intelligence-led activities and improved partnerships. However, little attention has been paid to what constitutes partnerships in the international security arena, what are the expectations of stakeholders, how partnerships can be developed and what are the tangible benefits for potential contributors.

The second LE&NS Global Forum will answer some of these questions. A formidable list of internationally acclaimed speakers will help steer delegates by way of plenary sessions, workshops and case studies.

You are invited to join other top-level participants from both the public and private sectors in a study of the key issues and a search for imaginative solutions.

"The LE&NS Global Forum is an innovative vehicle for continuing the search for better national, international and corporate security. The inaugural forum in 2001 produced results which were both interesting and relevant to the subject. I am sure this, the second event will deliver equally significant results. The chosen title and selected themes reflect important issues which we need to address."The Rt Hon Tony Blair MP, Prime Minister


"The LE&NS Global Forum is one component in a collective effort to drive forward the search for solutions. It is unique, however, in bringing together in one place the key components from national security, law enforcement, and corporate governance so that we might develop strategic responses to the security challenges of the 21st century."Carl Bildt, Chairman


"As Secretary General of NATO I would like to welcome you - albeit at a distance - to the Second LE&NS Global Forum. Much has happened since I spoke last year at the inaugural Forum. The events of 11 September have obviously been the most dramatic and tragic. I was clearly not predicting those particular attacks when I said at the first LE&NS event that "trends - in which the lines between military security and police work become blurred - will continue to grow". But my remarks proved to be prophetic. Since then the lines have become even more blurred, a point which the LE&NS Forum has also been prescient in promoting." Lord Robertson of Port Ellen, Secretary General NATO


"As you approach the Second Global Forum for Law Enforcement and National Security I wish you continued success. I remember with considerable pleasure and appreciation the first Forum and I note that you have maintained the quality of speakers and facilitators. There could not be a better time for such a Forum." Judge William Webster, former Director CIA and FBI


"The founding LE&NS Global Forum was the first international conference to draw attention to the insidious threat in our midst. Many of its conclusions were tragically prophetic. The second forum will take forward the work to identify and combat this modem and deadly treat to our way of life."The Rt Hon Lord Ashdown of Norton-sub-Hamdon KBE



The overall goal of the LE&NS Global Forum 2002 is to forge a way ahead on the difficult issues affecting security - corporate, national and international - in the 21st Century.
The aims are to:
· Establish workable partnership opportunities built on trust, loyalty and mutuality to improve security and integrity of both countries and businesses over the next two decades;
· Disseminate best practice in intelligence-led activities and techniques for tackling the serious security issues facing the international community.
The target audience is all who are involved in ensuring the security and well-being of both national and corporate infrastructures against non-traditional threats from the likes of organised criminals, cyber-warriors, militant activists, environmental polluters, fraudsters and corrupt officials. Interested parties will include: senior government officials; top business executives; key managers in the defence, law enforcement, national and corporate security sectors; civil-emergency planners; NGOs; leading academics; and the media.

Security Governance and Homeland Defence
Building on the foundations established at the inaugural LE&NS Global Forum in mid-2001, the second forum will advance the four main points raised at the first event namely: raising awareness, highlighting strategic relevance, investing in global institutions, and developing co-operation particularly in intelligence sharing.
The event will specifically examine the very nature of partnerships in national and corporate security, why they are not working to the extent they should and how they could be constructed to work more effectively in an unstable and unpredictable world. The emphasis will be on more collective, integrated and strategic approach with the purpose of disseminating best practice.
