Empty Hand Control Tactics: A Gradual Response with De-escalation Approach. , 2025

Several reasons may explain this, such as limited resources, entrenched practices and procedures, and a lack of knowledge and awareness about international standards and how to incorporate them into police training.

Still, Fischer contends that even if, as a result of any U.S. reservations, some sections of Article 51 cease to be valid as international treaty law, the prohibition of indiscriminate attacks by nuclear weapons would remain legally binding in accordance with the international customary law of war. In part III, Fischer summarizes the implications of Article 51, assuming its unrestricted validity, as follows: (1) the use of nuclear weapons as an instrument of war is "out" ("ausgeschlossen"); (2) their indiscriminate deployment against civilians is inadmissible; and (3) "first strike" nuclear strategy is prohibited. (Why the author suddenly deviates from terminology used earlier when he referred to the effects of Article 51 is nowhere explained.) But Fischer is clearly pessimistic about the prospects that the nuclear weapons superpowers would give up or even agree to the restricted use of nuclear weapons in armed conflicts. And he reminds the reader that if these countries continue to insist on technologically oriented strategies and ideologically fixed policies of national security, it will certainly signal that they do not care either about the population of their adversary or about their own, or ultimately about the survival of mankind. Whether one accepts Dr. Fischer's conclusions obviously depends on one's "mode of thinking." Nevertheless, it must be recognized that his thorough, well-balanced analysis of essential aspects of nuclear warfare is an important contribution to international law studies in this field. His documentation of both sides of the issues is excellent. But the lack of an index is definitely annoying, particularly in view of the literally hundreds of concepts, opinions and sources to which Fischer refers throughout his book.

This calls for a counterstrategy to prevent its rapid expansion to sensitive installations and targeting of security forces. Currently, there are no by-laws in place for the registration of camcorders or drone camera sellers, and anyone can easily purchase and operate them, which are sometimes used by terrorists and now even by drug traffickers. Security supervision at crowded events, especially during special religious festivals, has become vulnerable due to the use of this technology by anti-state elements.

US government wanted to portray TTP as religious extremists and a sort of intruders into Afghanistan but on the other hand, both phenomena could not gain much publicity within Afghanistan to push the Taliban into isolation with their own country.
