Explaining the Omani National Counterterrorism Strategy

Year 2021, Volume: 13 Issue: 1, 1 - 21, 30.01.2021

Abstract

The Sultanate of Oman has been consistently able to maintain its stability of security and stay away from the claws of terrorism, increasing the efficiency of
its national counterterrorism strategy. This article explores local and international reports that measure Oman’s current terrorism’s status, and the reasons behind Oman’s
ability to stay terrorism-free, particularly in light of the ever-increasing number of terrorist attacks and incidents in the Arabian Gulf region and the appearance of terrorist
groups in nearby states. This research endeavors to analyze the existing knowledge to clearly understand the Omani approach and strategy in counterterrorism. The data collected
for this research are extracted from semi-structured interviews and from policy analyses achieved through observing procedures, reviewing related legislation, and a
detailed review of all previously associated policies. This research is exploring how the Sultanate of Oman defines terrorism, examining the elements of the Omani national
counterterrorism strategy, and understanding the different phases of the Omani counterterrorism strategy. It recommends that the Sultanate of Oman should maintain
a defensive approach to its national counterterrorism strategy to face terrorism and ensure its stability of security.

Umman Ulusal Terörle Mücadele Stratejisini Açıklamak

Year 2021, Volume: 13 Issue: 1, 1 - 21, 30.01.2021

Abstract

Umman Sultanlığı sürekli olarak güvenlik istikrarını korumakta ve ulusal terörle mücadele stratejisinin etkinliğini artırarak terör faaliyetlerinden kendini
korumaktadır. Bu makale, Umman’ın terörizmle ilgili durumunu değerlendiren yerel ve uluslararası raporların ışığında, özellikle Körfez bölgesinde artan sayıda
terörist saldırı ve olayların olmasına ve yakındaki devletlerde terörist grupların ortaya çıkmasına rağmen Umman’ın terörizmden uzak kalma yeteneğinin arkasındaki
nedenleri araştırmaktadır. Bu araştırma, Umman’ın terörle mücadele yaklaşımını ve stratejisini açıkça anlamak için mevcut tecrübeleri analiz etmeye çalışmaktadır.
Bu araştırma için toplanan veriler, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmelerden, süreçleri gözlemleyerek yapılan politika analizlerinden, ilgili mevzuatın gözden geçirilmesinden
ve bağlantılı tüm politikaların ayrıntılı incelemesinden elde edilmiştir. Bu çalışma, Umman ulusal terörle mücadele stratejisinin unsurlarını inceleyerek ve Umman terörle
mücadele stratejisinin farklı aşamalarını anlayarak, Umman Sultanlığı’nın terörizmi nasıl tanımladığını araştırmaktadır. Umman Sultanlığı’nın terörizmle yüzleşmek
ve güvenlik istikrarını sağlamak için ulusal terörle mücadele stratejisinde savunmacıbir yaklaşım sürdürmesini tavsiye etmektedir.
