Highlighting the role of India’s strong fight against the menace of counter-terrorism, External Affairs Minister Dr. S Jaishankar earlier said, in 1996, long before the adoption of Resolution 1373, India took the initiative to pilot the draft Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism with the objective of providing a comprehensive legal framework to combating terrorism.

It is pertinent to note that India signed and ratified all the major conventions and protocols on terrorism adopted by the UN, and are part of all major global initiatives in that regard.
