Terrorism A Complex, Multidimensional, Growing Threat At Global Level, International News Network Bookmark and Share

Excerpts: Terrorism is a complex, multidimensional and growing threat at global level, therefore, a comprehensive strategy that addresses underlying causes like poverty, underdevelopment, and socio-economic inequities need to be formulated.

A series of expert-level meetings and workshops may be held by SAARC [South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, Ed] Member States to arrive at such a strategy. This was stated by Syed Kamal Shah, Secretary Interior while leading Pakistani delegation at the first SAARC meeting of Secretaries of Interior here on Wednesday.

He said that terrorism undoubtedly violates and threatens the foundations of human society and undermines the fundamental rules and core principles both of the SAARC Charter and United Nations.
