Agenda item 146
Measures to eliminate international terrorism
Report of the Sixth Committee (A/50/643)
The President
I call on the representative of Turkey, who wishes to speak in explanation of position before a decision is taken on the draft resolution recommended by the Sixth Committee in paragraph 9 of its report (A/50/643).
Mrs. Baykal (Turkey)
Turkey attaches particular importance to the item "Measures to eliminate international terrorism" since it has been suffering from the scourge of terrorism for some time.
Acts of terrorism continue to violate fundamental human rights, particularly the right to life. It is imperative that terrorists find no safe haven anywhere.
Along these lines, paragraph 5 of the draft resolution
"urges all States to strengthen cooperation with one another to ensure that those who participate in terrorist activities, whatever the nature of their participation, find no safe haven anywhere."
In keeping with the spirit of the paragraph, we believe that in this respect the civil and humanitarian character of the humanitarian sanctuaries should be protected. Cooperation between refugee States and humanitarian organizations and agencies is vital to this end.
The President
The Assembly will now take a decision on the draft resolution recommended by the Sixth Committee in paragraph 9 of its report (A/50/643).
The President
May I consider that the Assembly wishes to do the same?
The President
May I take it that it is the wish of the General Assembly to conclude its consideration of agenda item 146.
