Terrorist tactics are resorted to because groups think they are effective. Beliefs, such as this, are the root cause of terrorism.
The UN must show that these beliefs are wrong. The UN High-Level Panel is also proposing a clear definition of terrorism for the purpose The second main element should make it difficult for terrorist groups to travel, receive financial support or obtain nuclear or radiological materials. In the pursuit of the third main element, the UN has consistently confronted States, which harbor and help terrorists and applied sanctions. The measure has been effective in restraining these States. This hard line should be maintained and made stronger. Under the fourth main element, UN Resolution 1373 requires every member-State to take measures in preventing terrorism in their respective jurisdictions. The Counter-Terrorism Committee oversees the implementation of the Resolution. The new Counter-Terrorism Directorate will provide technical assistance to poor countries without the capacity for implementing the Resolution. And under the fifth and last main element, human rights must be defended. International human rights experts found that many measures to fight terrorism infringe on human rights and basic freedoms. Compromising human rights counteracts the struggle against terrorism. It enables terrorists to achieve their purpose. It provides them with high moral ground for their motives and creates an environment of hate and mistrust in government among those who are the likeliest recruits.
