Economic interests are of great significance in the emergence of armed conflict and have a central role in corruption and for the growth of rule breaking sub-cultures and their infrastructures for, among other things, smuggling, money laundering and countfeiting. These infrastructures are also used by terrorist organisations and could be used by states for carrying out anonymous assaults on other states. there is thus every reason for non-corrupt states to collaborate in a security agency that is not viewing military and judicial issues separately and in geographic isolation.
