ICT's International Expert Forum
Created to honor Col. Binyamin Gibli, former head of the Israeli Intelligence Service (1950-1955).
ICT gathered a prestigious and unique group of experts to conduct discussions in real time about issues concerning terrorism and counter-terrorism. The purpose of this forum is to share views, gather and relay information for everyone to benefit from. For example, after a terror attack or counter-terrorist operation, participants in the forum can say where they stand on the situation, their questions and dilemmas and to start a discussion. This will ensure fast communication and to exchange important ideas with each other.
Only a few invitees may write and discuss on this password protected forum. This is an informal forum with no limitations on writing and no deadlines. However, we will have many international viewers of this forum, who will also be password protected. These viewers will include governments, international agencies, major organizations and NGO's in the war against terrorism.
This exclusive opportunity will be used to expand on international cooperation in the hope that the brainstorming will widen the comprehension of the challenges and come up with new ideas for combating the world wide phenomena of terrorism. For the writers, this is a chance in real time to get updates, address issues and ask academic questions. Furthermore, this forum will serve as a platform to influence decision makers from all over the world.
