The resolution of a terrorist situation is never easy, as can be seen in Northern Ireland, Spain, or Algeria. A little time ago, we were given yet another example of the difficulties of achieving peace in a terrorist-plagued country. President Yasser Arafat signed a document to restart the peace process, there were two new bombings in the area. The massacres in East Timor again bear witness to the contempt in which terrorists hold democracy, human rights and the rule of law. Allow me to finish my comments by re-emphasizing Interpol s commitment to assist Sri Lanka, and any other country, which suffers from terrorism.
Terrorism is no longer one country s problem.
It is an international problem which requires an international solution.
