/PanARMENIAN.Net/ U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan welcomed the
adoption of the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy by the General
Assembly. "I commend Member States for developing and agreeing to a
comprehensive strategic framework to counter terrorism. In doing so,
they have resolved to take concrete actions to address the conditions
conducive to the spread of terrorism, prevent and combat terrorism in
all its forms, and strengthen the individual and collective capacity
of States and the United Nations to do so — all while ensuring
the protection of human rights. I congratulate the President of the
General Assembly and his two co-chairs — Ambassador Vanu Gopala Menon
of Singapore and Ambassador Juan AntonioYañez-Barnuevo of Spain —
for leading the membership to this historic achievement.

The upcoming fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks of 11
September 2001, serves as one of many solemn reminders of the
gruesome and unjustifiable consequences of terrorism all over the
world. I urge all Member States to honor the victims of terrorism
everywhere, by taking swift action to implement all aspects of
the strategy. May today’s agreement demonstrate the international
community’s unwavering determination to defeat terrorism," he said,
