UN Security Council condemns India bomb attacks
The United Nations Security Council today condemned “in the strongest terms” the bomb attacks that caused hundreds of
deaths and injuries in Mumbai and other parts of India yesterday, calling them “heinous acts of terrorism” and urging
all States to cooperate with the Indian Government in bringing those responsible to justice.
“The Security Council reaffirms that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious
threats to international peace and security,” the 15-member body said through a consensus statement read out by its
President for July, Ambassador Jean-Marc de la Sablière of France.
It reminded States of their obligation to combat terrorism under Council resolutions, while at the same time complying
with international human rights, refugee and humanitarian law.
