Terrorism should be curbed everywhere

AN INITIATIVE BY

 INTERNATIONAL PEACE ORGANIZATION

A forum  taking place against the new threats to international peace and security

 “An international organization against terrorism should be established. This is not a fight between states or governments; it is a fight against terrorism. The destruction and death of innocent people as a result of terrorism- and terrorism itself can never be supported or defended.”
(Mr. Rouf R.Denktas President, TRNC)

“Terrorist acts in all forms and manifestations, committed wherever, whenever and by whomsoever are a profound threat to the peace, prosperity and security of all peoples of all faiths, of all nations.”
(Joint Statement issued by Asia Pacific Summit in China)

“We unequivocally condemn in the strongest terms the horrifying terrorist attacks in New York City, Washington DC and Pennsylvania on September 11 and consider such acts as an attack against humanity and an assault on all of us.”
(Joint Statement issued by ASEAN Leaders on November 5, 2001)

“Such inhuman acts, in the final analysis, are directed against all humanity, against civilization, against freedom, against all religions.”
(Imam Mohammad Gemeaha  Islamic Cultural Center of New York, Manhattan)

“Terrorism is not just the bombing as we saw in the destruction in New York and Washington DC, there were also terror in other fields. There was terror of hunger, of fear, of politically motivated bomb and we will address all elements of terror.”  
(Wendy Chamberlain, Ambassador of USA to Pakistan)

The United Nations should urgently define parameters of terrorism including international terrorism and state terrorism. In the absence of a clear definition of terrorism, countries can try to legitimate repressive actions against freedom fighters and indulge in serious human rights violations. The world body should adopt a comprehensive convention on all aspects of terrorism. The proposed convention should incorporate strategy to fight terrorism both at the internal and external fronts. The international community must address the menace of state terrorism.
(The News October 24, 2001)

“Terrorism threatens not just individual states but the entire system of strategic stability. We know that the aim of the terrorists is to obtain weapons of mass destruction. Bioterrorism has already become a fact.”
(Vladimir Putin, Russian President at annual meeting with armed forces commanders.
November 12, 2001)

Taliban killed three foreign journalists. They were named as French radio reporters Pierre Billoud, Johanne Sutton and German journalist Volkar Handloik. International Peace Organization (IPO) and NAAT has strongly condemned the killings of journalists.
November 12, 2001  

President of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf, meeting with US President George Bush, said Wednesday he is 'REASONABLY sure' that  Deniel Pearl is alive, report AP. The News Feb.14, 2002

Pearl is DEAD. A British-born Muslim militant Sheikh Omar admitted Thursday ' As far as I understand he is dead'. In response to a question from the anti-terrorism court judge, Omer said 'yes, I kidnap him'      The News Feb.15, 2002

World condemns killing. A video tape received by  the US Consulate in Karachi Thursday Feb.21, 2002  contained scenes showing Mr. Pearl in captivity and scenes of his murder by the kidnappers. The three minutes videotape focuses on the abducted  38 years old reporter, who is speaking, the source said. 'The camera is focused on Pearl's faces. Suddenly his head is chopped off and a blunt weapon was used.'        The News Lahore Feb 23, 2002

'The murder of Daniel Pearl is a shocking act of barbarism,' said Koichiro Matsuura, Director General UNESCO. This gruesome crime is especially repugnant in view of the motive that appear to have drive its perpetrators; the fact that Daniel Pearl was an investigative reporter, seeking to shed light on an important story of international concern, the fact he was a US citizen, the fact he was a Jew.' he said.

 "The crime highlights the enormous dangers encountered by journalists, particularly in areas of conflict and violence, said Kofi Annan Secretary-General United Nations.  The News Lahore Feb 23, 2002

" I am outraged by the terrorist attack took place today in Islamabad  against innocent civilians. I strongly condemn them as act of murder that cannot be tolerated by any person of conscience nor justified by any cause.''  George W. Bush President of USA.  March 17, 2002.
