India has advocated an early adoption of the long-pending international convention on terrorism as it would provide impetus to multilateral counter-terror actions. The Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism (CCIT) is a proposed treaty which intends to criminalise all forms of international terrorism and deny terrorists, their financiers and supporters access to funds, arms, and safe havens. India's envoy to the UN, Hardeep Singh Puri said, the treaty is under negotiation at a committee of the UN General Assembly but the negotiations are deadlocked over how to define terrorism. Two outstanding issues that have been delaying the treaty are how to refer to an armed struggle, and secondly would military forces be within the scope of the convention. Mr.Puri said, the passage of the treaty, this year, is one of India's main priorities.At the Security Council meeting, the Indian envoy also highlighted the danger of clandestine proliferation andterrorism that could lead to weapons or vulnerable nuclear materials being procured by non-state actors. He reiterated India's support for key terror related Security Council resolutions that relate to sanctions against Al-Qaeda and Taliban, the establishment of the Counter Terrorism Committee, and non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
