Posted on 07 Jun 2011 Political violence, strikes, riots, civil war and war threaten the sustainable growth, continuity and profitability of businesses as much as terrorism, according to Aon Risk Solutions, the risk management business of Aon Corporation. Consequently, for the first time in its 10-year history, Aon's annual Terrorism Threat Map now also takes these factors into account in assessing the severity of threats businesses face around the world. The 2011 Aon Terrorism and Political Violence Map shows increased risk of political violence in the Middle East and North Africa, reflecting the significant turbulence of the Arab Spring uprisings in the region. The risk of coup d'etat and rebellions in Africa reflect a continent that presents a significant political violence risk. Civil unrest and labor disputes arising from austerity measures in Western European nations such as Greece, France, Spain and the UK are also reflected on the map. Meanwhile, terrorism continues to severely afflict established conflict zones like Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Somalia as well as parts of Nigeria and the Sahel region. The threat of occasional acts of international terrorism remains significant for most Western nations and major powers. The map, produced by Aon in collaboration with the security consultancy firm Janusian, which is part of The Risk Advisory Group, reflects data recorded by Terrorism Tracker*, which monitors global indicators of terrorism threat, including attacks, plots, communiqués and government countermeasures, Aon WorldAware*, which provides country risk information for business travelers and an expert assessment of the security situation in more than 200 countries. Each country is assigned a threat level, starting at negligible, and rising through low, medium, high and severe. The Aon Terrorism and Political Violence Map acts as a gauge for the intensity of the threat of political violence to international business in each country and three icons indicate the forms of political violence likely to be encountered: • Terrorism and sabotage • Strikes, riots, civil commotion and malicious damage to property • Political insurrection, revolution, rebellion, mutiny, coup d'etat, war and civil war Neil Henderson, head of terrorism in Aon Risk Solutions' Crisis Management team, commented: "While the attacks of September 11 were the genesis for the Aon Terrorism Threat Map, the issues that should be of most concern to people and businesses have evolved greatly in the nearly 10 years since. While terrorism remains a very real threat around the world, the reality is that threats to business continuity are also coming from political violence in all its many forms. The change in the way the map is scored should not be seen as a decrease in the incidence or severity of terrorist threats, but rather the fact that it provides businesses with a more inclusive view of some of the risk management issues they are facing around the world. "Businesses should, as a first step, identify the threats they face and implement a comprehensive risk management program to protect their employees, physical assets and ultimately, their bottom line. As the insurance market for terrorism insurance is very mature and can cope with complex international risks, it should be considered as part of a sound risk management program." Dr. David Claridge, managing director of Janusian, added: "The threat of terrorism remains a daily concern for business risk managers. Islamist terrorist groups continue to pursue a global agenda, illustrated by plots such as Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's attempt to bomb cargo planes last October last year as well as internationalizing local grievances by attacking targets like Moscow's Domodedovo airport, which was bombed in January. "The uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa have highlighted the need for risk managers to take a comprehensive approach by assessing exposure to political violence in all its forms."

Hrvatska se nalazi u kategoriji zemalja sa zanemarljivim rizikom od terorizma i političkog nasilja u 2011. godini, procjenjuje Aon Risk Solutions, vodeća globalna kompanija za upravljanje rizicima i posredovanje u osiguranju Prema Aon Risk Solutions-u, političko nasilje, štrajkovi, pobune, građanski rat i rat prijete održivom razvoju, kontinuitetu i profitabilnosti poduzeća isto koliko i terorizam, navodi se u današnjem priopćenju te kompanije. Stoga Aonova godišnja Mapa opasnosti od terorizma i političkog nasilja po prvi put u desetogodišnjoj povijesti kod procjene težine opasnosti s kojima se suočavaju poduzeća širom svijeta uzima u obzir i te faktore. Mapa terorizma i političkog nasilja za 2011. pokazuje povećan rizik od političkog nasilja na Srednjem istoku i u Sjevernoj Africi, što je odraz velikih nemira u regiji tijekom 'arapskog proljeća'. Rizik državnih udara i pobuna u Africi ukazuje na to da taj kontinent predstavlja značajan rizik političkog nasilja. Na mapi se odražavaju i građanski nemiri i radni sporovi koji proizlaze iz mjera štednje u zapadnoeuropskim državama poput Grčke, Francuske, Španjolske i Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva. U međuvremenu, terorizam i dalje snažno pogađa dokazane zone sukoba kao što su Irak, Afganistan, Pakistan i Somalija, a također i dijelove Nigerije i regije Sahel. Opasnost od povremenih činova međunarodnog terorizma i dalje je velika u većini zemalja Zapada i velikih sila , navodi se, između ostaloga u priopćenju. Hrvatska se, pak, u Mapi nalazi u kategoriji zemalja sa zanemarljivim rizikom, dok susjedne BiH i Srbija spadaju u kategoriju zemalja s umjerenim rizikom. 'Iako je Aonova mapa opasnosti od terorizma nastala kao posljedica napada od 11. rujna, problemi koji bi trebali najviše zabrinjavati ljude i poduzeća snažno su se proširili u desetogodišnjem razdoblju koje je uslijedilo. Terorizam je i dalje vrlo stvarna opasnost u cijelom svijetu, ali činjenica je i da opasnosti za kontinuitet poslovanja također dolaze od političkog nasilja u svim njegovim brojnim oblicima. Poduzeća bi najprije trebala utvrditi s kojim su opasnostima suočena i uvesti sveobuhvatan program upravljanja rizicima kako bi zaštitila svoje zaposlenike, materijalnu imovinu i, na kraju krajeva, poslovne rezultate. Kako je tržište osiguranja od rizika terorizma dobro razvijeno i može se nositi sa složenim međunarodnim rizicima, osiguranje treba smatrati dijelom razboritog programa upravljanja rizicima', kaže Neil Henderson , direktor za pitanja terorizma u službi za krizni menadžment Aon Risk Solutions-a. Aon Corporation svjetski je lider u upravljanju rizicima te posredovanju u osiguranju i reosiguranju sa preko 59.000 zaposlenih u 120 zemalja svijeta te ukupnim godišnjim prihodom od oko 9 milijardi dolara Na hrvatskom je tržištu prisutan od 2000. te je prvo društvo registrirano za poslove posredovanja u osiguranju. - Sviđa vam se članak?
