Abstract

The uncontrolled, destructive development of civilization has sharply sharpened contemporary global world contradictions, primarily interstate and intrastate relations, society's attitude toward the environment, the violation of the sovereignty of independent states under the pretext of "peacemaking and world security," etc. Experts are alarmed by a growing number of various challenges and threats (geopolitical, food, demographic, climatic, ecological, raw material, energy, etc.) and natural and technogenic emergency situations, the constant improvement of scenarios and methods of terrorist activity, unforeseeable political, socio-economic, ecological and other consequences that hinder the organization and execution of rescue and humanitarian operations, and the sustainable development of countries. Among the possible means of terrorist activity, terrorist acts using "dirty bombs" and biological agents are regarded as the most dangerous due to their medical, biological and socio-psychological consequences.
