It follows UN Security Council Resolution 1373 which was adopted as a response to the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States.
In adopting resolution 1566, the Council set up a working group to consider recommendations on measures to be imposed against "individuals, groups or entities involved in or associated with terrorist activities" not already identified by its Al-Qaida and Taliban sanctions committee.
The resolution also asks the working group to consider the possibility of establishing an international compensation fund for victims of terrorist acts and their families, which might be financed through voluntary contributions garnered in part from assets seized from terrorist organizations, their members and sponsors.

 State's Burns Calls for Investigation into Hariri Assassination
The Security Council passed Resolution 1559 in September 2004 as Syria was pressuring Lebanese politicians to approve an unconstitutional extension of President Emile Lahoud's mandate.
Resolution 1559 calls for the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Lebanon, the disbanding of militias and the extension of Lebanese government sovereignty over the country's entire territory.
What is important, as I stressed and as the Security Council stressed yesterday is that this investigation be serious and credible and be conducted with real urgency in the self-interest of the people of Lebanon as well as in the interest of the region and the international community.

 Al-Ahram Weekly | Opinion | Beyond narrow interests
A terrorist act committed in one country rocks the stability and security of countries the world over, and as the recent bombings in the Sinai have demonstrated it does not discriminate in the nationality of its victims.
The draft resolution, proposed by Russia in the wake of the Beslan school incident, stirred heated controversy, especially over the provision calling for the creation of a list of terrorist organisations.
Because certain nations were keen to avoid this task, perceiving it in their interest to keep "terrorism" as ambiguous as possible, the resolution could only be adopted after that provision was dropped.

Security and economic issues have virtually been forgotten, while the humanitarian sphere has been seen by many OSCE members as letting them, while not discussing problems of interest to others, focus on control over the development of democracy and the state of human rights in the former Soviet Union.

The UN Security Council Resolution 1566 says "offences within the scope of and as defined in international conventions and protocols relating to terrorism are under no circumstances justifiable by considerations of political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or other similar nature.
Almost all allegations of rape and molestation of women by the security forces in the countries of South Asia, whether in India's north east, Punjab and Kashmir, in Sri Lanka's north and east and in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh were routinely denied by the security forces.
It is unlikely that the official guardians of human rights, particularly the permanent members of the UN Security Council may develop some sympathy for the position of those who have critiqued the human rights corpus for its cultural and political biases.

The resolution required every country to freeze the financial assets of terrorists and their supporters, deny travel or safe haven for terrorists, prevent terrorist recruitment and weapons supply, and cooperate with other countries in information-sharing and criminal prosecution.
The United Nations Security Council is at the center of this effort.
The first use of sanctions for this purpose was against Libya, when the Security Council adopted Resolution 748 in March 1992, imposing travel sanctions and an arms embargo because of Libya’s unwillingness to turn over suspects wanted for the bombing of U.S. and French airliners.

The UN, designed at the end of WWII had no idea that it will have now 191 member states and will be involved in such large and complex operational challenges alongside its political and diplomatic responsibilities, and have a staff of thousands spread so widely around the globe.
Further, creating a "Council of Democracies" at the UN, and doing away with the outdated system of "Regions" at the UN (because it failed by not distinguishing between Syria and India or Libya and South Africa), we also are moving here in the right direction.
