During the last several years, many things have been said and done to curb terrorism, organised crime, corruption and other related activities. Like cancer, those activities are well alive, but more or less hidden, part of everyday life in many countries. One could say that corruption and organised crime are classical examples of public/private partnership; in a negative sense. It is clear that corruption is the fundamental basis on which are built organised crime and some elements of international terrorism. Countries in transition and new states, such as those which appeared after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia provide good examples confirming this thesis. The reason for this is simple: democratic governments wishing to fight either organised crime or terrorism or both, as it is case today, must be: a) strong, and b) credible and respected in the eyes of the population. Corrupt governments, particularly those with a corrupt judiciary branch, are not able to effectively fight either organised crime or terrorism. Though their agencies can sometimes assist Western activities on their soil, this does not imply that corrupt governments are weak. In fact, they are capable of using force, often misusing it for the private interests of politicians and public officers. Simultaneously, there is a weakness within state apparatuses, because honest civil servants, and there are some, give up the fight. It is therefore evident that the territory of any country where corruption is widespread can adequately serve as both a rear and front base for activities related to organised crime and terrorism.
