The 151 delegates at the event represented nearly 40 countries of 5 continents, and also representing 20 international organisations. Leaders of security companies, police and security services, investigation agencies and also associated international organisations attended the event. The Congress was organised on a very high-level of professionalism with excellent seminars (Ju Jitsu, Krav Maga, VIP Protection, Real Aikido), a very good and exciting Shooting Championship, and the 3rd real IBSSA Bodyguard Demonstrations World Championships.

Prince Michael James Alexander STEWART OF ALBANY – Honorary President of IBSSA. As this year elections and appointment of IBSSA Officials took place, one basic rule was proposed by the Board: keep those who gave a good work and change those, who did not fulfil the obligations and did not do the promised work! The Congress unanimously re-elected and elected the members to their positions stated in the proposal of the Executive Committee.

10 years of IBSSA – official publication Sportsy enthusiasm of laymen vs. real expertise in security issues Nobody having a clear recollection of the last 10-year history of development and qualitycentric trans-formation of IBSSA would doubt the proficiency of the organization. In the early years, I met police experts whose smile reflected their dubiety concerning the Association’s goals and its professional capabili-ties. After all, they encountered an NGO that tried to solve problems related to personal and property security, relying on civil resources. True, they were civil people, however, most of them returned to civil life after having absorbed a solid inventory of professional expertise as former members of the regular staff of security agencies. During the first years of operations, sheer force and sporty attitudes dominated. It was a natural conse-quence of the background acquired by each member of the Hungarian senior executives of the organization in one or several branches of martial arts and the functions they had discharged in various national and international organizations of a given branch of sport. In addition to that heritage, the importance of professional work and the number of professionals of protection of people and property grew quite substantially. The members of the Hungarian Board and foreign management of IBSSA have accumulated firm expertise and experience in this trade. A click on personal data of some senior executives shown in various web-sites clearly highlights that a multitude of criminal prosecution experts, lawyers, engineers and other people of extensive qualifications have lent their specific knowledge to contribute to IBSSA’s success. Undoubtedly, also their work contributed to the fact that an ever growing number of our organizations obtained an ISO certificate. The same statement applies also to the various training courses where physical power is associated with well-balanced professional thinking. The names of many world-famous trainers have been mentioned with much respect, both in Europe and overseas. For example, leading trainers of one of the world’s most acknowledged universities specializing in military self-defense have visited the international further training camps organized by IBSSA in different countries. Since last summer, a special SAS trainer, a former commander of a special task force joined us; a motion-picture produced to perpetuate his activities has been shown by local TV-channels in many countries. I think that having won nine gold medals during situ-ational shooting competitions of sportsmen delegated by ministries of interior is the best reference one can offer. In addition, the George, RÓZSA B. educational activities of many other celebrities guarantee the best possible quality of training. In addition to other factors, the quality of our professional activities has been acknowledged by the presence of the IBSSA members and their active participation in the different international professional organizations. The diversity of their activities is reflected by their presence in various forums of the United Nations and their participation in the development and implementation of local programs designed in several countries to enhance the safety and security of civil population. Experts coming from different countries have exchanged their experience and contributed to the reinforcement of cross-boundary relationships of professionals. This is true to both the actual and honorary members and the patrons of IBSSA. Existing and former heads of states, ministers and other respected celebrities sponsor and support the quality of work performed in this organization. Both we ourselves and the staff members of all ranks are interested in establishing security. It is just the reinforcement of the civil organizations which guarantees that no detail will sink into oblivion. NGOs can solve details and problems beyond the capacity of the responsible public organizations. Each day, members of IBSSA join the doing of routine work, in more than 100 countries. Training of citizens in acquiring the knacks of selfdefense, efficient reduction of the number of stolen cars, protection of safety and security of homes: these are only a few examples that illustrate the multitude of tasks met by the members while meeting their classical tasks, i.e. the protection of people and property. 7
