National security Plan for Aruba 2008-2012

To understand where we are in terms of national security, it is important to first define what we mean by national security. How Aruba defines the term ―national security‖ is a result of a process of dialogue and cycles of feedback among representatives of a broader net of relevant departments and agencies as well as the law and order chain. The definition provides a framework within which to place the most prominent threats to national security as perceived by this network of stakeholders in Aruba. These threats to national security provide the compelling reasons for the planning of aligned action to mitigate the threats to national security.
