"Terrorism is a global threat with global effects; its methods are murder and mayhem, but its consequences affect every aspect of the United Nations agenda - from development to peace to human rights and the rule of law. No part of our mission is safe from the effects of terrorism; and no part of the world is immune from this scourge."
Secretary-General Kofi Annan
