Kuwait called on the international community Wednesday evening to place a legal and comprehensive definition for terrorism and terrorist acts, and to prepare a counter-terrorism agreement as soon as possible.
Same old, same old. Arab states want to 'define' terrorism so as to make sure that none of them can be accused of it. | This came during a speech by Kuwaiti diplomat Mohammad Al-Ateeqi before the 62nd UN General Assembly's Legal Committee, which was discussing measures to eliminate global terrorism. He called on the international community not to confuse terrorism with the right of people to determine their own fate and liberate themselves from foreign occupation, as stipulated in Charter of the UN.
Which means that killin' Jooooooz is still okay. | "We, in Kuwait, reaffirm that terrorism clashes with all religions and human values. While condemning all forms of terrorism, regardless of motive, we reiterate that terrorism must not be linked to any religion, nationality, culture, or ethnic group."
Especially Muslims. Most especially. | "We also stress respect for human rights, international law, and international humanitarian law when countering terrorism," he said.
Except when the Shi'a citizens of their own country get a little uppity. But hey, who cares about that? |
