Armed Conflicts
Texto
"Armed Conflicts".- Armed conflicts continue to pose a major threat to security, even though global interdependence has influenced their form and decreased the likelihood of conventional confrontations between States. Most violent conflicts are internal. Examples are failed States, unlawful activities performed by both State and non-State actors, inter-ethnic conflicts and competition for natural resources. Despite the internal nature of these conflicts, their consequences affect the international community and, in some cases, vital and strategic Spanish interests and, accordingly, National Security.
