Note
Resolution adopted by the General Assembly on December 8, 2005 without a vote.

One more year gone and the UN still proves unable to define terrorism. The effort to adopt a definition along with a Comprehensive Convention Against Terrorism ends in failure - again. Back in September the UN "Reform" Summit tried to paper things over by proclaiming "We strongly condemn terrorism in all its forms and manifestations..." They just couldn't manage to agree on what they were condemning. An organization that claims a leadership role in the fight against terrorism can't even define the target. But they've scheduled more meetings next year to keep talking about it, the imminent threats to peace and security notwithstanding.
