A Global Strategy for Fighting Terrorism

UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan proposes a series of five strategies to fight global terror in this article, which is adapted from a public address in Madrid, Spain. The "five D's" include "dissuading" discontented groups from engaging in terrorist tactics; "denying" terrorists the weapons of attack, including nuclear arsenal; "deterring" states from supporting terrorist groups; "developing" the capacity of all nations to deal with terrorism; and "defending" human rights and rule of law, not sacrificing them to counter-terrorist strategies. Will the member states of the UN answer Annan's call and collaborate to realize these plans? – YaleGlobal
