| NAM expresses total opposition to terrorism | | |
Havana, Sept 17 In a strong endorsement of India's position, the 118-nation Non-aligned Movement (NAM) today expressed its total opposition to terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and asked countries to combat the menace, including by prosecuting and extraditing its perpetrators.
Burning midnight oil and bringing to an end months of negotiations, the two-day NAM summit adopted the Havana Declaration and the 'Final Document' in the early hours of the day urging countries to refrain from extending political, diplomatic, moral or material support to terrorism under the UN Charter and also asking them to fulfill global obligations not to give it any support.
Being held in Cuba, an inveterate anti-US campaigner, the conference condemned unilateralism and attempts to exercise hegemonic domination in international relations, a favourite phraseology of Cuba for decades to attack Washington.
It resolved to oppose and condemn the categorisation of countries as "good or evil" based on unilateral and unjustified criteria and the adoption of a doctrine of pre-emptive attack, including by nuclear weapons.
In a paragraph that could cause discomfort to Pakistan, the 91-page final document expressed deep concern that the terrorist groups, including former Taliban, were regrouping in the southern and eastern parts of Afghanistan. Equally of concern was that the efforts of international community to fight terrorism were being undermined by support, protection and shelter that these forces of destablisation continued to receive, it said. |
