Kofi Annan Quotes About Terrorism

• Terrorism constitutes a direct attack on the values the UN stands for: the rule of law; the protection of civilians; peaceful resolution of conflicts; and mutual respect between people of different faiths and cultures.

  Law, People, Peaceful

• Nuclear terrorism is still often treated as science fiction. I wish it were. But unfortunately we live in a world of excess hazardous materials and abundant technological know-how, in which some terrorists clearly state their intention to inflict catastrophic casualties. Were such an attack to occur, it would not only cause widespread death and destruction, but would stagger the world economy... [creating] a second death toll throughout the developing world.

  Nuclear Terrorism, Creating, Wish

• There can be no doubt that these attacks are deliberate acts of terrorism, carefully planned and coordinated and as such I condemn them utterly. Terrorism must be fought resolutely wherever it appears.

  September 11, Doubt, Terrorism

• Dependiendo de dónde vivas, tu amenaza es muy diferente de la de la otra persona. Si preguntas hoy a un neoyorquino, por la forma en que lo interpreta la prensa, dirá que el terrorismo es su mayor temor. Pero para alguien que vive en un pequeño Estado insular, el cambio climático, la subida del nivel del mar, pueden arrasar toda su isla. Si voy al sur de África, me dicen que es el VIH/SIDA y en algún lugar de Asia es la pobreza. Por eso también te resultará difícil llegar a acuerdos, porque si quieres que alguien se preocupe por tu amenaza, tú deberías preocuparte por la suya.
