Adopt convention on terrorism, India urges U.N.

United Nations: India on Wednesday asked the international community to act as one in denying terrorists, their ideologues and financiers access to arms, funds, means of transportation of deadly goods as well as safe havens.

To do this the United Nations must first finalise and adopt the Comprehensive Convention on Terrorism, Indian Ambassador to U.N. Nirupam Sen told the 15-member Security Council.

Addressing the daylong debate on threat to international peace and security from terrorism, Mr. Sen stressed the need to strengthen democratic and secular forces across the world to stem the scourge.

He expressed India’s willingness to provide all assistance in the larger effort to counter the threat. — PTI
