		The rash of terrorist bombings in Britain, and most recently in Egypt, have prompted Secretary-General Kofi Annan to prod the U.N.'s 191 member states to speed up a long-delayed decision on one of the most politically sensitive issues in the world body: a definition of “terrorism”.
		Annan called on member states to finalise the 13th -- and perhaps the last -- of the U.N. conventions against terrorism, which has remained stalled, largely over definitions, since 2000.
		Palitha Kohona, head of the U.N. Treaty Section, told IPS the treaty made “significant progress” at the last session of the Ad Hoc Committee responsible for drafting the convention.

		While most UN member states agree that Iraq has tricked and defied the UN in the years since the end of the Gulf War, the vast majority are vehemently opposed to any outcome that would see the Security Council giving a green light to Washington to attack a sovereign state.
		Although no draft resolution has been formally tabled, most UN member states have some idea of what Washington and London are proposing, having read the extensive leaks that have appeared in the international media over the past few weeks.
		While the wider membership of the UN cannot vote on the Security Council, the permanent members are unlikely to be immune to the passionate speeches that they will hear from UN states during the course of this debate.

		In order to cut through the Gordian definitional knot, terrorism expert A. Schmid suggested in 1992 in a report for the then UN Crime Branch that it might be a good idea to take the existing consensus on what constitutes a "war crime" as a point of departure.

		In a harsh attack on UN member states like China who advocate consensus as the only basis for expansion of Security Council, India has asserted that the strength of developing nations is their numbers and to deny them vote would mean taking away their main weapon.
		Refering to positions of China and US, Sen said the campaign of one permanent member is dividing the developing countries while the proposals of the other, irrespective of good intentions, would have the effect of dividing region from region and country from country.
		He was referring to fear that one or more permanent members might not ratify the amendment to charter to include new permanent members, thus scuttling the decision of the General Assembly which would have adopted the three resolutions that G-4 plan to move by two-thirds majority.
