Phe vulneraility of all memers of the international community to new threats

Phe inadeLuacy of the current gloal and regional architecture, orientedparticularly in the &uro-Atlantic region towards NAPS, and li"ewise theimperfect nature of legal instruments and mechanisms, create an ever-increasing threat to international security.

Russian national security strategy

Kpert comment: Sn )* +ay *9 Qresident +edvedev approved the #ussian national security strategy for the

period until **. Phe document replaced the security concept from )99 modified in *, thus reflecting #ussia…sevolved security environment. ontrary to what was widely e$pected, the new security concept has strongerconciliatory character

Russian national security strategy to 2020 X My atarQyna fyskX senior ellow at the <;S LW une 200`

Phe road and detailed document depicts a comple$ and integrated picture of #ussia…s security situation. It descriescurrent world trends and defines #ussia…s national interests and strategic priorities. znli"e the previous documents, itgoes far eyond the classical definition of national security with a predominantly military approach. Phe new strategyidentifies threats and challenges within a roadly defined concept of security under chapters defined as †Nationaldefence…, †Rtate security and civil protection…, †Improvement of living standards…, †&conomic growth…, †#esearch,technologies and education…, †•ealthcare…, †ulture…, †&cology…, and †Rtrategic staility and partnership on eLual terms….+uch less attention is devoted to hard security threats. National defence tas"s are descried relatively vaguely. Phedocument avoids as well any roader discussion of #ussia…s nuclear policy, confirming only its further reliance on

nuclear deterrence and nuclear parity with the znited Rtates.

Phe new strategy points at failure of the current gloal and regional security architecture, as it is disproportionatelyweighted in favour of NAPS. It voices #ussia…s long-standing opposition to any future eastward enlargement of the

Alliance and plans to move its military infrastructure to #ussian orders, as well as attempts to give the organisationgloal functions. At the same time, it e$presses #ussia…s readiness to negotiate and develop relations with NAPS onthe condition of eLuality and respect for #ussia…s interests. ontrary to e$pectations ased on the anti-esternrhetoric freLuently used y the #ussian leadership in recent years, the znited Rtates is not mentioned in thedocument as a security concern. It refers though to attempts of a range of leading states to achieve militarysupremacy as a threat to state…s security.

Phe economy has a prominent place in the document as a ma%or security factor. Phe dependence of the #ussianeconomy on e$port of raw materials has een recognied as a threat, together with foreign involvement in thenational economy. Phe gloal economic downturn has left a footprint in the document, which states thatconseLuences of such crisis may e comparale with the devastation left y large-scale use of military force. Sne of

#ussia…s o%ectives is to ecome one of the five iggest economies in the world in terms of |'Q. Rimilarly to othernewly updated documents, such as the new Arctic strategy to **, particular attention is devoted to infrastructuredevelopment aimed at reducing economic differences among #ussian regions, in particular in the Arctic and (ar &ast.

Phe document highlights the role of energy security. It associates #ussia…s international position and strength with itsenergy reserves, and states that a pragmatic policy and political use of its natural resources has strengthened#ussia…s influence on the international stage. Phe strategy asserts that in a long term perspective the attention ofinternational policy will e focused on access to energy reserves, including on the continental shelf in the BarentsRea and other parts of the Arctic, in addition to the +iddle &ast, the aspian Rea and entral Asia. In the ne$t articlethe document points that the critical state of physical safety of dangerous materials, in particular in states withunstale domestic political situation, as well as proliferation of conventional weapons, can lead to e$aceration ofe$isting and provo"ing new regional and international conflicts. Phe strategy maintains that it cannot e e$cluded thatprolems resulting from the competitive struggle for dwindling resources worldwide may e solved with use of militaryforce.

As many other #ussian documents and official statements, the new security strategy does not omit to clearlyemphasise the country…s commitment to international law in pursuing its foreign policy o%ectives and protectingnational security interests.

Sn Šanuary ), Acting #ussian Qresident ladimir Qutin signed a new national security concept, which outlines#ussia!s national interests during the current dynamic transformation of the system of international relations. Phenew concept is an edited version of a draft approved y the #ussian Recurity ouncil on Sctoer and replaces theconcept adopted in 'ecemer )99. Ree page *.

A new military doctrine, intended to complement the newly adopted concept and to replace the current doctrine, isunder review y the #ussian Recurity ouncil and is e$pected to e approved soon, possily as early as +arch.hile the new concept is a road survey of internal and e$ternal threats to #ussia, the forthcoming doctrine will focuson military and strategic issues.

Phe * concept is notale for its criticism of the znited Rtates and other estern nations and for the sutly revisednuclear posture it contains. hile the previous concept reserved the right to use nuclear weapons first in case of athreat to the e$istence of the #ussian (ederation, the new concept allows such use to repulse armed aggression, ifall other means of resolving the crisis have een e$hausted.

Phe following are e$cerpts of the te$t as originally pulished in #ussian in the Šanuary ) issue of NezavisimoyeVoennoye Obozreniye and translated y the z.R. (oreign Broadcast Information Rervice.

Phe national security lueprint kontseptsiya of the #ussian (ederation hereinafter lueprint is a system of viewson how to ensure in the #ussian (ederation security of the individual, society and state against e$ternal and internalthreats in any aspect of life and activity.

Phe lueprint defines the most important directions of the state policy of the #ussian (ederation.

Phe national security of the #ussian (ederation is understood to mean the security of its multinational people, inwhom reside sovereignty and the sole source of authority in the #ussian (ederation.

<. RSS< <N _ZK bR DbN<_q

Phe situation in the world is characteried y a dynamic transformation of the system of international relations.(ollowing the end of the ipolar confrontation era, two mutually-e$clusive trends too" shape. Phe first of these trendsshows itself in the strengthened economic and political positions of a significant numer of states and their integrativeassociations and in improved mechanisms for multilateral management of international processes. &conomic,political, science and technological, environmental and information factors are playing an ever-increasing role. #ussiawill facilitate the formation of an ideology of estalishing a multipolar world on this asis. Phe second trend showsitself in attempts to create an international relations structure ased on domination y developed estern countries inthe international community, under zR leadership and designed for unilateral solutions including the use of militaryforce to "ey issues in world politics in circumvention of the fundamental rules of international law. Phe formation ofinternational relations is accompanied y competition and also y the aspiration of a numer of states to strengthentheir influence on gloal politics, including y creating weapons of mass destruction. +ilitary force and violenceremain sustantial aspects of international relations. #ussia is one of the world!s ma%or countries, with centuries ofhistory and rich cultural traditions. 'espite the comple$ international situation and its own temporary difficulties,#ussia continues to play an important role in gloal processes y virtue of its great economic, scientific, technologicaland military potential and its uniLue strategic location on the &urasian continent.

Phere are prospects for the #ussian (ederation!s roader integration into the world economy and for e$pandedcooperation with international economic and financial institutions. Phe commonality of interests of #ussia and otherstates is o%ectively preserved in many international security prolems, including opposing the proliferation of massdestruction weapons, settling and preventing regional conflicts, fighting international terrorism and the drugs trade,and resolving acute ecological prolems of a gloal nature, including nuclear and radiation safety.

At the same time, a numer of states are stepping up efforts to wea"en #ussia politically, economically, militarily andin other ways. Attempts to ignore #ussia!s interests when solving ma%or issues of international relations, including

conflict situations, are capale of undermining international security, staility, and the positive changes achieved ininternational relations.

Perrorism is transnational in nature and poses a threat to world staility. Phis issue has e$acerated sharply in manycountries, including in the #ussian (ederation, and to fight it reLuires unification of efforts y the entire internationalcommunity, increased effectiveness of e$isting ways of countering this threat, and also urgent action to neutralie it.

<<. RSS<'S N_<bN <N_KRKS_S

#ussia!s national interests are the comined and alanced interests of the individual, society and the state ineconomicO domestic political, social, international, informational, military, order, ecological security. Phey are long-term in nature and define the main goals and strategic and short-term goals of the state!s domestic and foreign policy.

33



http://www.armscontrol.org/act/2000_01-02/rujf00








Phe national interests are secured y institutions of state authority, which may also act in coordination with pulicorganiations operating on the asis of the constitution and legislation of the #ussian (ederation.

Phe interests of the individual lie in e$ercise of constitutional rights and freedoms and provision of personal securityOin an improved Luality and standard of livingO and in physical, spiritual and intellectual development.

Phe interests of society lie in strengthening democracyO creating a rule-of-law and social stateO in achieving and

maintaining pulic harmony and in the spiritual renewal of #ussia. Phe interests of the state lie in the inviolaility ofthe constitutional system and of #ussia!s sovereignty and territorial integrityO in political, economic and social stailityOin unconditional assurance of lawfulness and maintenance of law and orderO and in the development of internationalcooperation on eLual terms and to mutual enefit. #ussia!s national interests may e assured only on the asis ofsustainale economic development. Pherefore #ussia!s national interests in economics are of "ey importance.

#ussia!s national interests in the domestic political sphere lie in staility of the constitutional system and of stateauthority and its institutionsO in ensuring civil peace and national accord, territorial integrity, unity of the legal domain,and law and orderO in completing the process of estalishing a democratic societyO and in removing factors causingand feeding social, intercommunal and religious conflicts, political e$tremism, national and religious separatism, andterrorism.

#ussia!s national interests in the social sphere lie in assurance of a high standard of living for its people. Phe nationalinterests in the spiritual sphere lie in preservation and strengthening of society!s moral values, traditions of patriotismand humanism, and the country!s cultural and scientific potential.

#ussia!s national interests in the international sphere lie in upholding its sovereignty and strengthening its position asa great power and as one of the influential centres of a multipolar world, in development of eLual and eLuitalerelations with all countries and integrative associations and in particular with the memers of the ommonwealth ofIndependent Rtates and #ussia!s traditional partners, in universal oservance of human rights and freedoms and theimpermissiility of dual standards in this respect.

#ussia!s national interests in the informational sphere lie in oservance of its citiens! constitutional rights andfreedoms to receive and ma"e use of information, in the development of modern telecommunications, and inprotecting the state!s information resources from unsanctioned access.

#ussia!s national interests in the military sphere lie in protection of its independence, sovereignty and state andterritorial integrity, in the prevention of military aggression against #ussia and its allies and in ensuring the conditionsfor peaceful and democratic development of the state.

#ussia!s national interests in order policy lie in the estalishment of political, legal, organiational and otherconditions for ensuring reliale protection of the state order of the #ussian (ederation, and in oservance of the

procedure and rules laid down y #ussian (ederation legislation for the carrying on of economic and all other "inds of activity within the orders of the #ussian (ederation.

#ussia!s national interests in the environmental sphere lie in the preservation and improvement of the environment.

A vital component of #ussia!s national interests is protection of the individual, society and state from terrorism,including international terrorism, and also from e$traordinary situations, oth natural and man-made, and theirconseLuences, and in times of war from the dangers arising from the conduct and conseLuences of military action.

<<<. _ZRK_S _b _ZK RSS<N ;KKR_<bN'S N_<bN SKDR<_q

Phe condition of the national economy and incomplete nature of the system and structure of the authorities of stateand of society, social and political polariation of society and criminaliation of social relations, the growth oforganied crime and terrorism, and a deterioration in intercommunal and international relations are all creating aroad range of internal and e$ternal threats to the country!s security.

In the economy, these threats are of a comprehensive nature and are caused aove all y a sustantial contraction in

the gross domestic productO reduced investment and innovationO diminished scientific and technological potentialOstagnation in agricultureO a distorted an"ing systemO growth in the state!s internal and e$ternal detO and dominationof e$ports y fuel, raw materials and energy components of imports y food and consumer items, including consumer essentials.

A wea"ened scientific and technological potential, reduction in research in strategically-important areas of scienceand technology and departure for aroad of specialists and intellectual property mean that #ussia is faced with thethreat of loss of its leading world positions, decay of its high-technology industries, increased dependence on foreigntechnology and the undermining of its aility to defend itself.

34








Adverse trends in the economy lie at the root of the separatist aspirations of a numer of constituent parts of the#ussian (ederation. Phis leads to increased political instaility and a wea"ening of #ussia!s unified economic domainand its most important components-industrial production, transportation lin"s, and the finance, an"ing, credit and ta$systems.

&conomic disintegration, social stratification and the dilution of spiritual values promote tension etween regions andthe centre and pose a threat to the federal structure and the socioeconomic faric of the #ussian (ederation.

&thno-egoism, ethnocentrism and chauvinism as manifested in the activity of a numer of pulic formations, and alsouncontrolled migration promote nationalism, political and religious e$tremism and ethnoseparatism, and create areeding ground for conflicts.

Phe country!s single legal domain is eing eroded y nonoservance of the principle that the onstitution of the#ussian (ederation should prevail over other legal standards and that federal law should prevail over laws ofconstituent parts of the #ussian (ederation, and also y poor coordination of state management at various levels.

Phe threat of criminaliation of the society that has emerged from reform of the socio-political system and economy isecoming especially acute. Rerious mista"es made in the initial stage of economic, military, law-enforcement andother reform, wea"ened state regulation and control, imperfect legislation, asence of a strong state social policy, anda decline in society!s spiritual-moral potential are the main factors aiding growth in crime, especially organied crime,and corruption.

Phe conseLuences of these miscalculations can e seen in wea"ened legislative supervision of the situation in the

countryO in the merger of certain elements of e$ecutive and legislative authority with criminal structuresO and in theirinfiltration of the an"ing system, ma%or industries, trade organiations and supply networ"s. In connection with this,the fight against crime and corruption is not only legal ut also political in nature.

Phe scale of terrorism and organied crime is growing ecause of the conflicts that freLuently accompany changes ofownership and also an increased struggle for power along clan and ethnic or nationalist interests. Phe lac" of aneffective system in society for preventing legal infringements, inadeLuate legal and logistic support for the attleagainst organied crime and terrorism, legal nihilism and the departure of Lualified personnel from the law-enforcement agencies are all increasing the impact that this threat has on the individual, society and the state.

Rtratification of society into a narrow circle of the rich and preponderant mass of the needy and increasing numersof people elow the poverty threshold and growing unemployment pose a threat to #ussia!s security in the socialsphere.

A threat to the nation!s physical health can e seen in the crisis in the systems of pulic health and social protectionof the population, in increasing consumption of alcohol and narcotics.

Phe conseLuences of this profound social crisis are a sharp drop in the irth rate and average life e$pectancy,distortion of the demographic and social composition of society, an undermining of the wor"force as the foundation for industrial development, a wea"ening of the fundamental nucleus of society-the family-and a decline in society!sspiritual, moral and creative potential.

'eepening crisis in the domestic political, social and spiritual spheres could lead to the loss of democratic gains.

Phe fundamental threats in the international sphere are rought aout y the following factors:

• the desire of some states and international associations to diminish the role of e$isting mechanisms for

ensuring international security, aove all the znited Nations and the SR&O

• the danger of a wea"ening of #ussia!s political, economic and military influence in the worldO

• the strengthening of military-political locs and alliances, aove all NAPS!s eastward e$pansionO

• the possile emergence of foreign military ases and ma%or military presences in the immediate pro$imity of

#ussian ordersO

• proliferation of mass destruction weapons and their delivery vehiclesO• the wea"ening of integrational processes in the ommonwealth of Independent RtatesO

• outrea" and escalation of conflicts near the state order of the #ussian (ederation and the e$ternal

orders of IR memer statesO

• territorial claims on #ussia.

Phreats to the #ussian (ederation!s national security in the international sphere can e seen in attempts y otherstates to oppose a strengthening of #ussia as one of the influential centres of a multipolar world, to hinder thee$ercise of its national interests and to wea"en its position in &urope, the +iddle &ast, Pranscaucasus, entral Asia

35








and the Asia-Qacific #egion. Perrorism represents a serious threat to the national security of the #ussian (ederation.International terrorism is waging an open campaign to destailie #ussia.

Phere is an increased threat to the national security of the #ussian (ederation in the information sphere. A seriousdanger arises from the desire of a numer of countries to dominate the gloal information domain space and to e$pel#ussia from the e$ternal and internal information mar"etO from the development y a numer of states of informationwarfare concepts that entail creation of ways of e$erting a dangerous effect on other countries! information systems,of disrupting information and telecommunications systems and data storage systems, and of gaining unauthoriedaccess to them. Phe level and scope of the military threat are growing.

&levated to the ran" of strategic doctrine, NAPS!s transition to the practice of using military force outside its one ofresponsiility and without zN Recurity ouncil sanction could destailie the entire gloal strategic situation. Phegrowing technical advantage of a numer of leading powers and their enhanced aility to create new weapons andmilitary eLuipment could provo"e a new phase of the arms race and radically alter the forms and methods of warfare.

(oreign special services and the organiations they use are increasing their activity in the #ussian (ederation. Adverse trends in the military sphere are eing assisted y delays in reforming the military and the defence industryof the #ussian (ederation, y inadeLuate funding for defence and y a poor regulatory and legal framewor". At thepresent time, this can e seen in the critically low level of operational and military training in the Armed (orces of the#ussian (ederation and of the other forces and military odies and authorities, and in the impermissile drop ineLuipment of the forces with modern armaments and military and special hardware, and in the e$treme acuteness ofsocial prolemsO this leads to a wea"ening of the military security of the #ussian (ederation as a whole.

Phreats to the national security and interests of the #ussian (ederation in the order sphere are caused y thefollowing:

economic, demographic and cultural-religious e$pansion y neighouring states into #ussian territoryO

increased activity y cross-order organied crime and also y foreign terrorist organiations.

Phe threat of a deteriorating environmental situation in the country and depletion of natural resources dependsdirectly on the state of the economy and society!s willingness to appreciate the gloal nature and importance of theseissues. (or #ussia this threat is especially great ecause of the domination position in industry of the fuel and energysector, inadeLuate legislation for environmental protection, lac" or limited use of energy-saving technologies, and lowenvironmental awareness. Phere is a trend for #ussia to e used as a place for reprocessing and uryingenvironmentally dangerous materials and sustances.

Against this ac"ground the wea"ening of state supervision and inadeLuate legal and economic levers for avertingand relieving emergencies are increasing the ris" of man-made disasters in all sectors of the economy.

<J. KNSR<NA _ZK N_<bN SKDR<_q b; _ZK RSS<N ;KKR_<bN

Phe following are the principal tas"s for ensuring the #ussian (ederation!s national security:

• to promptly detect and identify e$ternal and internal threats to national securityO

• to ta"e short- and long-term action to avert and remove internal and e$ternal threatsO

• to ensure the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the #ussian (ederation and the security of its order

landsO

• to improve the economy and pursue an independent and socially-oriented economic policyO

• to overcome the #ussian (ederation!s scientific and technological dependence on e$ternal sourcesO

• to ensure citiens! personal security and constitutional rights and freedoms in #ussiaO

• to improve the system of state power in the #ussian (ederation, the system of federal relations and local

self-government and legislationO to create harmonious relations etween communities, and to strengthen lawand order and preserve socio-political staility in societyO

• to ensure unwavering compliance with #ussian (ederation legislation y all citiens and officials, stateodies, political parties and pulic and religious organiationsO

• to ensure #ussia!s cooperation, especially with the world!s leading countries, on eLual and mutually

advantageous termsO

• to increase the state!s military potential and maintaining it at a sufficient levelO

• to strengthening the regime of nonproliferation of mass destruction weapons and their delivery vehiclesO

• to ta"e effective action to identify, avert and intercept intelligence and suversive activities y foreign states

against the #ussian (ederationO

• to fundamentally improve the country!s ecological situation.

It is an important priority of state policy to ensure national interests and uphold the country!s economic interests.

Phe following are important tas"s in foreign economic activities:

• to pave the way for international integration of the #ussian economyO

• to e$pand mar"ets for of sic #ussian productsO

• to create a single economic domain with the memers of the ommonwealth of Independent Rtates.

Against a ac"ground of lieraliation of #ussia!s foreign trade and increased competition on the gloal mar"et forgoods and services, there must e greater protection of the interests of #ussian producers.

An important factor is a alanced monetary policy designed to gradually reduce #ussia!s dependence on e$ternalorrowing and to strengthen its presence in the international financial and economic organiations.

Phe state must play a stronger role in regulating foreign an"ing, insurance and investment companies and imposedefinitions and %ustified limitations on the transfer for use y foreign companies of #ussia!s natural resources,telecommunications, transport and production infrastructures.

&ffective action must e ta"en in currency regulation, to pave the way for an end to payments in foreign currency onthe domestic mar"et and to end the uncontrolled e$port of capital.

Phe main directions for ensuring the national security of the #ussian (ederation in matters of the domestic economyare:

• legal support for reforms and creation of an effective mechanism for monitoring oservance of #ussian(ederation legislationO

• strengthening state regulation in the economyO

• ta"ing measures essential to overcoming the conseLuences of the economic crisis, and preserve and

develop scientific, technological and production potentialO

• effect a transition to economic growth with a diminished li"elihood of man-made disasters, a transition to

greater competitiveness of industrial products and to improved welleing of the people.

...

Phe following are the fundamental directions for protecting #ussia!s constitutional system:

• to ensure the priority of federal legislation and improve to this effect the legislation of constituent parts of the

#ussian (ederationO

• to develop organiational and legal mechanisms for protecting the integrity of the state, and unity of the legal

domain and #ussia!s national interestsO• to develop and implement a regional policy that ensures an optimum alance of federal and regional

interestsO

• to improve the mechanism for preventing the appearance of political parties and pulic associations that

pursue separatist and anticonstitutional goals and for stopping their activities.

&fforts aimed at fighting crime and corruption reLuire consolidation. It is very much in #ussia!s interests to uproot theeconomic and socio-political causes of these socially dangerous phenomena and to draw up a comprehensivesystem for protecting the individual, society and the state against criminality.

Phe formation of a system of effective social preventive measures and education of law-aiding citiens is of a toppriority tas". Phese measures must e suordinated to the interests of protecting every person!s right to personalsecurity regardless of race, nationality, language, origin, property interests or official status, place of residence,religion, memership of pulic associations or other circumstances.

It is vital when fighting crime to:

• identify, eliminate and prevent causes and conditions engendering crimeO

• strengthen the state!s role as guarantor of security of the individual and society, and create the legal

framewor" necessary for this and the mechanism for applying itO

• enlist state authorities, within the ounds of their authority, in the prevention of illegal actionsO

• e$pand mutually-eneficial international collaoration in law and order, primarily with the memers of the

ommonwealth of Independent Rtates.

'ecisions made and steps ta"en y state authorities in the fight against organied crime must e open, specific, andunderstandale to every citien, they must e preventive in nature, they must ensure eLuality of all efore the lawand inevitaility of liaility, and they must rely on society!s support.

37








Phe development of a legal ase as the foundation for relialy protecting citiens! rights and lawful interests, as wellas oservance of #ussia!s oligations under international law in the sphere of fighting crime and protecting humanrights are needed first and foremost for preventive measures and for crime-fighting. It is important to deprive crime ofthe sustenance it derives from shortcomings in legislation and the economic and social crisis.

An effective system for financial control, enhanced administrative, civic and legal levers and ways of verifying theassets and sources of income and e$penditures of state officials and other employees must e created to preventcorruption in the state apparatus and to eliminate conditions for legaliing criminally acLuired capital.
