Statement of Malaysia on Measures to Eliminate International Terrorism

Malaysia claims it wants to bring terrorists to justice - but only so long as the sovereignty of the states who harbor them is left intact. As Malaysia's representative points out to the UN General Assembly's Sixth Committee, Malaysia welcomes the UN counterterrorism strategy which proposes "to ensure that terrorists and those who harbour and aid them are brought to justice...with due regard for...respect for the principles of non-interference, territorial integrity and sovereignty of States."
