Question of: The Use of the Internet by Terrorist Organisations
Submitted by: Netherlands
Fully aware that terrorists and other criminal organisations use proxy servers to hide their identity and location when on the internet,
Alarmed that the web is almost entirely un-policed and un-censored internationally,
Notes that countries do not readily share information about online terrorist that may pose a threat to international security,
Aware that the internet is one of the easiest ways to organise terrorist action untraced; aside from face to face meetings, and this information can be successfully monitored by internet service providers,
- Calls for the international ban of proxy servers as they permit the use of anonymous web use without traceability;
- Asks for the formation of the “International ‘Net Police” (InterNetPol) that will;
- actively seek out terrorists,
- have powers to globally make arrests in the interests of international stability,
- Encourages the introduction of an international network to share information about potential terrorists operating within countries and to alert other nations of possible threats;
- Proposes that legislation be written forcing internet service providers to trace and share information about its customers with InterNetPol or Governments to ensure international security.
