May 26 2004

An adequate response to the most serious threats of the 21st century – international terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and regional conflicts can only be given by the consolidated efforts of the international community, relying on the tools of the UN and international law, President Vladimir Putin announced at the Address to the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.

Further work is also required on the development of internationally acknowledged legal tools and collective mechanisms for neutralizing global threats. One of the most important tasks is consolidating the antiterrorist coalition.

At the same time, no excuses of the necessity of fighting terrorism can be used an argument for restricting human rights, or for creating unjustified difficulties in contact between people on the international scene.
