Strategijski koncept upravljanja odbranom od hemijskog, biološkog, radiološkog i nuklearnog oružja

Abstract

Posledice upotrebe hemijskog, biološkog, radiološkog i nuklearnog (HBRN) oružja predstavljaju realnu opasnost ne samo po život i zdravlje ljudi, životinja i biljaka, već i po privredu i ekonomiju. Sve navedene vrste oružja imaju zajedničku karakteristiku - smrtonosna su i pripadaju grupi “oružja za masovno uništavanje” (OMU). Prikazan je i kratak istorijat nastanka i razvoja HBRN oružja i navedene neke od razornih posledica nastalih njihovom upotrebom. Razmatranjem smernica za razvoj nacionalnih strategija i akcionih planova za borbu protiv HBRN oružja ukazuje se na aktivnosti koje bi institucije trebalo da preduzimaju i koje mogu doprineti da se efikasnije predupredi upotreba HBRN oružja, ublaže razaranja i saniraju posledice po živote građana, privredu i društvo u celini.

The consequences of the use of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) weapons pose a real threat not only to lives and health of humans, animals and plants, but also to the economy. All of the above mentioned types of weapons have a common characteristic – they are extremely lethal and belong to the group of “weapons of mass destruction” (WMD). The aim of this paper is to make the concept of CBRN weapons more understandable to readers through a brief history of their emergence and development, and to present some of the devastating consequences of their use. The consideration of guidelines for the development of national strategies and action plans to combat the CBRN weapons points to the activities that should be undertaken by institutions and which may contribute to more efficient prevention of the use of CBRN weapons, mitigation of damage and alleviation of consequences for the lives of citizens, the economy and the society as a whole.
