Security Council condemns Bali attack
Security Council condemns Bali attack as threat to international peace
14 October – Denouncing Saturday's deadly terrorist attack in Bali, Indonesia, the United Nations Security Council today called on all countries to back efforts to bring those responsible to justice.
In
a resolution adopted unanimously this evening, the Council
condemned "in the strongest possible terms" not only the
bombing in Bali but also "other recent terrorist acts in
various countries."
Those incidents, like any act of
international terrorism, constitute "a threat to
international peace and security," the Council stated,
voicing its reinforced determination to combat all forms of
the scourge in accordance with its responsibilities under
the UN Charter.
All States were urged "to work
together urgently and to cooperate with and provide support
and assistance, as appropriate, to the Indonesian
authorities in their efforts to find and bring to justice
the perpetrators, organizers and sponsors of these terrorist
attacks."
The Council also expressed condolences to
the Government and people of Indonesia and to the victims of
the bomb attacks and their
families.
