ndia today said it is ready with the text of the Comprehensive Convention against International Terrorism and it will press for its early adoption by the United Nations.<br/><br/>Indian envoy to the United Nations Hardeep Singh Puri said in New York that the text will appear to by and large an acceptable basis for negotiations.<br/><br/>However, there remain two outstanding issues that still needed to be resolved dealing with what kind of armed struggle, for instance a liberation movement, would not be called a terrorist act, and secondly would military forces be within the scope of the convention. He said, both the issues have been discussed and hoped for a language that will be the basis for the overall acceptance.<br/><br/>The negotiations over a comprehensive anti-terror convention have persisted for years but these efforts have largely been bogged down in technical issues.
