British PM wants world to send anti-terrorism message (AFP) Updated: 2005-09-07 17:18
British Prime Minister Tony Blair called for the world to send out a "clear
and unified" message against inciting terrorism, reported AFP.
"It is time we sent out a clear and unified message from the international
community and said that (inciting terrorism) is no longer legitimate," he told a
news conference in the Indian capital on Wednesday.
Blair's statement came as a British source confirmed to AFP that Britain had
presented a draft resolution Wednesday for next week's UN General Assembly
annual debate that would commit nations to make every effort to stop people
inciting others to commit terrorist acts.
The British prime minister, who is on whistle-stop swing through Asia, was
speaking at the end of an India-EU trade summit in New Delhi.
"That (incitement to terrorism) is not something that can have any hiding
place in respectable opinion and I think that is a necessary thing for us to
say," Blair said.
Blair's government is working on domestic legislation that would ban
incitement to terrorism after suicide bombers killed dozens of people on Londons
subway system and a bus in July.
