Nuestra NEBRIJA 28 - Enero 2019

55 UN under-secretary-general, as happened at the last CICA held in Nebrija, shows that we are on the right path. In addition, it was an honor for us that the world-renown Seville Statement on Violen- ce, drafted by us in 1986, was endorsed by the UNESCO General Conference in Paris in 1989, and was translated and disseminated in all United Nations languages. I hope to have the opportunity to speak about it next time Nuestra Nebrija maga- zine offers me the chance. The issues discussed in the CICAs are very diver- se, since we always try to choose one that is clo- se to the scientific interest of its local organizers. However, they could be grouped into three sta- ges: during their first years, under the auspices of the International Society for Research on Ag- gression (ISRA), they were focused mainly on the relationships between brain and aggression. La- ter, after the creation of the Society for Terrorism Research (STR) in one of the annual conferences of the American Psychological Association (APA) –during the author’s stay at the University of Har- vard–, we analyzed terrorism, which was a hot to- pic internationally mainly after the attacks on the Twin Towers (we in Spain had been suffering it since much earlier). And in the current decade, precisely under the auspices of the Nebrija-San- tander Chair that I have the honor to lead, we have been focusing on security and defense issues. In particular, we have just celebrated the 47th CICA in Slovakia on the risks of fires, within the context of the protection of critical infrastructu- res. And at the next one –the 48th–, that will take place on May 27, 28 and 29, 2019 in Madrid, with a satellite meeting the following week in Krakow, and to which all the readers of Nuestra Nebrija are cordially invited, we will discuss the new pa- radigm of security in the present scenarios of the 21st century and its application to hot topics such as cybersecurity, terrorism, intelligence on securi- ty and business issues, relations between various international institutions, such as NATO and the European Union, the problem of migration and refugees and that of fake news, which is no less important despite the insidiousness of its appea- rance, among many others.
