The UN Security Council voted unanimously today to step up the global campaign against terrorism, calling on all nations to prosecute or extradite anyone supporting, financing or participating in terrorist acts.
The 15-0 vote at UN headquarters in New York culminated weeks of negotiations by Russia, which introduced the resolution after militants staged a series of attacks there including the suicide hijacking of two planes and the hostage-taking of a school in Beslan.
It was adopted a day after several car bombings targeted Israelis in Egyptian resorts in Sinai.
“We think these events stressed even more the urgency to take further practical steps in the fight against terrorism and we consider the UN is the best co-ordinator in this fight,” Russia’s deputy ambassador Alexander Konuzin said, when asked about the resolution’s importance after the Egyptian attacks.
The resolution creates a Security Council working group to study measures to be taken against terrorists and terrorist groups that are not affiliated with Al-Qaida or Afghanistan’s former Taliban rulers.
The council has already imposed stiff sanctions against those groups - requiring all 191 UN member states to impose a travel ban and arms embargo against a list of those linked to the Taliban or al-Qaida and to freeze their financial assets. But it has not examined what actions to take against other terrorists.
“It is important that we have agreed in principle to consider measures against terrorists other than those linked to Al-Qaida,” said Algeria’s UN Ambassador Abdallah Baali.
Pakistan and Algeria, the only Muslim nations on the 15-member council, both expressed concern this week that language in the final draft of the resolution would make it a crime to fight in a liberation war, and that a new list of terrorist subjects would be compiled.
During final negotiations, the text was changed to make clear that the resolution targeted only criminal acts defined in international conventions dealing with terrorism. The reference to a possible terrorist list, as one measure the working group would consider, was dropped at the last minute.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... Right... Like the UN has any credibility... move on nothing more to see here..
Well. How nice.
It's meaningless. The UN has its own criteria for "good terror" and "bad terror." And the UN itself funds terror.
The UN should prosecute itself.
Do they honestly think this will help to get Kerry elected?
Brother.....
Yeah right. And then they're going to send them a really, really angry letter.
Image rehab on the day of the debate. Nice try, chumps.
Ouch....This must be a terrible blow for the Kerry campaign. He was lobbying for getting "more sensitive" with the terrorists.
United Nitwits.
Did the UN do this for the US after 9/11?
They had to vote for this? Idiots.
They will write nastier memos.
Actually they are going to form a subcommittee to draft a very strongly worded letter to the Washington Post. Then the security council will vote on the language in the next year or two, unless it doesn't.
THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE LIE!!!
The UN has no money of its own...The US funds terror THROUGH the UN!!!
I had to put on my glasses, I thought you wrote "prostitute".
"The UN Security Council voted unanimously today to step up the global campaign against terrorism, calling on all nations to prosecute or extradite anyone supporting, financing or participating in terrorist acts."
There, that should finally do it. What took them so long to end terrorism?
BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!
"Henceforth all terrorists will be severely chided."
