This session will host presentations based on the following description.

Description

The proliferation and diffusion of CBRN agents and their possible means of delivery combined with the possibility that States and Non-State actors will develop or acquire them are some of the main threats to global security. Attacks with WMD and CBRN agents is a high-consequence transnational threat. The increased CBRN know-how, the spread of the appropriate technology and expertise and the growing capabilities represent a serious threat. Evidences of acquisition, production or theft of nuclear fissile materials, radiological sources, chemical agents, toxins and biological agents that can be used in attacks involving CBRN materials are some of the indicators that can identify clandestine CBRN programs. A comprehensive fusion of information about States and Non-State actors CBRN developments, performance and operational capabilities linked with potential hazards from research facilities, industrial plants, nuclear power plants and other potential sources of toxic releases is necessary.

CBRNe attacks, as any other crime scene, require a first aid intervention to save human lives and to ensure the safety of first responders. Secondarily, there is the need to recover the corpses, or their fragments, and to conduct an analysis of the victims to obtain their identification. The corpses or their remains are usually stored in cooled units or morgues where the analyses are performed. Three strategies are the most common and are suitable for specific cases: fingerprint analysis, the odontology approach, and DNA typing.  Moreover, a novel research field is focused on the harmonization of techniques involved in the detection, collection, and analysis of CBRNe samples and forensic requirements in terms, for example, of evidence collection and preservation, chain of custody, sample storage and results in reliability. This last issue is crucial to utilize laboratory results both as legal proof in Courtrooms and in international disputes. 

Starting from a CBRNe scenario, this session aims at providing up-to-date knowledge and experience in: 

• CBRNe attacks prevention through the processing of data and information;
• DVI issues, with a multi-disciplinary approach (first responders' point of view, forensic pathology, forensic genetics, forensic chemistry, physical anthropology, etc.); 
• Crime scene investigation (evidence documentation and collection);
• Samples analysis in accredited and designated laboratories.

This session will host the work of the experts that will reflect those concepts.

Keywords:  Information collection and sharing, CBRNe intelligence, Investigation, Forensic, CBRNe scene vs Crime scene, Evidence collection, Accredited laboratories, Onus probandi in courts and international disputes, Disaster Victim Identification (DVI) units, Forensic microbiology.

Here it is the list of the oral presentations of technical session 11.

The abstract will be available on the book of abstract.
