Preparedness requires strategic thinking, a futuristic mindset and anticipatory skills.

These problems and crises demand urgent attention with anticipatory capacity building.

A number of anticipatory and reactive adaptations have been identified in key sectors.

Anticipatory action is an element of the inherent right of self defence that remains lawful under the United Nations Charter.

It is essential that data should be recorded, regularly updated and shared to track movements and trends so that anticipatory measures can be effectively implemented.

They must be conducted either in self defense after an attack, or in anticipatory self defense against an immediate threat, when taking time to discuss non lethal alternatives is not feasible.

Crises and disasters strike all the time, and many are unpredictable. Without adequate anticipatory and future oriented capacities, Governments and public administrations can not respond to natural and man made disasters. They all demand emergency attention.

On 7 March 2005, he referred the draft Law on Freedom of Association and Demonstration, which had been approved by the National Parliament on 7 December 2004, to the Court of Appeal, for anticipatory review of its constitutionality.

The Secretary General's report makes the key point that a State need not wait until it is actually attacked in order to use force in self defence, which is to say that there is a right of anticipatory self defence in appropriate circumstances.
