Abstract
In the Czech Republic, a complex approach and broad institutional co-operation involving inputs of scientific research to analyse endangered critical infrastructures and to adopt respective countermeasures had led to strengthening national measures in implementing respective international agreements dealing with WMD non-proliferation under deepening the co-operation within EU and NATO. The concrete complex programme of harmonised effort of all state organs in combating international terrorism resulted in the Czech National Action Plan to Combat Terrorism (2002). This (bi-annually updated) binding political document identifies threats to all sectors of society and contains active measures to be undertaken by involved organisations and institutions in all aspects of prevention, repression, protection, rescue and recovery for cases of terrorist attacks. Its contents is discussed with special emphasis on the aspects of CBRN terrorism and role of Integrated Rescue System in responding the threats.
