Civilian checkpoints or security checkpoints are distinguishable from border or frontier checkpoints in that they are erected and enforced within contiguous areas under military or paramilitary control. Civilian checkpoints have been employed within conflict-ridden areas all over the world to monitor and control the movement of people and materials in order to prevent violence. == Contemporary examples == Though practices and enforcement vary, checkpoints have been used in: * The former Yugoslavia during the Yugoslav Wars. * Northern Ireland by the Official IRA, Provisional IRA, Irish National Liberation Army, and Real IRA as well as by the British Army, Royal Ulster Constabulary, Police Service of Northern Ireland and also by the Ulster Defense Association and the Ulster Volunteer Force. * Colombia, by military and paramilitary forces. * Palestinian territories, by the Israeli Defence Force. * Mexico, by military and police forces. * Checkpoints were widely used in the past in former communist countries like Russia and Poland. It is still common today to see police checkpoints at the entry to towns especially away from big cities. * Since the terrorist bombings in Pakistan, they are widely seen across all over Pakistan specially on entrance and exit points of big cities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Security checkpoint」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
