Abstract
For centuries, biological agents have been used in warfare, terrorist or criminal activities. It seemed that the signing of the convention on biological weapons would contribute to biological weapons to become just an unpleasant memory of the past. However, bioterrorism has become a reality of the modern world due to its characteristics, causes and consequences. At the same time, the expansion of high technology on one hand and the ability of biological weapons to cause massive destruction or 'mass casualties' on the other hand, shifts the focus of the public and experts from the question 'will there be' to the question of 'when will there be' a terrorist attack using biological weapons.' Therefore, in this paper, the author discusses the concept, classification, and history of the use of biological weapons, and the possibility of their use for terrorist purposes.
Vekovima unazad biološki agensi su korišćeni za ratovanje, terorističke ili kriminalne aktivnosti. Može se reći da je izgledalo da će potpisivanje Konvencije o biološkom oružju doprineti da ono postane samo neprijatna uspomena na vremena kada se upotrebljavalo. Međutim, bioterorizam je postao realnost savremenog sveta zbog svojih karakteristika i posledica koje uzrokuje. Pri tome, ekspanzija visoke tehnologije s jedne i sposobnost biološkog oružja da izazove ,,masovno uništavanje' ili ,,masovne žrtve' s druge strane, pomera fokus javnosti i stručnjaka sa pitanja ,,da li će se' na pitanje ,,kada će se dogoditi teroristički napad biološkim oružjem'. Upravo stoga u radu je dat osvrt na pojam, klasifikaciju i istorijat upotrebe biološkog oružja. Takođe je dat i generalni pregled mogućnosti njegove upotrebe u terorističke svrhe i zaštite od biološkog oružja.
