Check the Kidnapping Indicator

US Travel Advisories Add Kidnapping Indicator,

Ansnei welcomes this initiative, as highly relevant and important.

 

In 2018, the U.S. Department of State introduced the Travel Advisory system, wherein every country around the world received labeling providing tiered levels of advice ranging from Levels 1-4; the higher the level, the higher the risk. Travel Advisories at Levels 2-4 have clear reasons for the level assigned, identified via standardized risk indicators. The body of each Travel Advisory contains more information about the nature and location of these risks, as well as specific advice for those who choose to travel there. Fifteen months after the system went into effect, the Department has unveiled its first significant modification: the addition of a new, separate indicator for the threat of Kidnapping and/or Hostage taking.

 

Introduction of the “K” indicator occurs alongside an update in the Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM), the basic organizational directive for the State Department. There, a new definition of Kidnapping and Hostage Taking as pertaining to the Travel Advisory system now notes that the indicator exists wherever:

“criminal or terrorist individuals or groups have threatened to and/or have seized or detained and threatened to kill, injure, or continue to detain individuals in order to compel a third party (including a governmental organization) to do or abstain from doing something as a condition of release.”

 

Countries where the “K” indicator is now in force are as follows:

  1. Afghanistan
  2. Algeria
  3. Angola
  4. Bangladesh
  5. Burkina Faso
  6. Cameroon
  7. Central African Republic
