The mounting terrorism and violence throughout the world is a cause for concern for the entire inter¬national community. some countries which have allowed their territory to be used for terrorist actions directed against other countries or have tolerated political and propaganda activities in support of such action are now becoming themselves the hunting grounds for all kinds of terrorism. That should increase the awareness that the need for international co-oper¬ation to curb this scourge is greater and more urgent than ever. 20. One manifestation of international terrorism is the attacks directed against diplomatic representatives. The General Assembly resolutions on the protection of diplomatic and consular agents and premises represent an important step in initiating international co-operation in this field. We hope that it will be possible this year to devise more effective measures for the prevention and elimination of such acts of terror.
