The
recent UN Security Council resolution on terrorism, envisages the closing down
of offices and freezing of assets of such organisations allegedly involved in
terrorist activities. Here the question arises as how to differentiate between
freedom movement organisations and terrorist ones. What are your views on this
pertinent issue?

- I
think we should identify it as:
Terrorist: Any individual,
organization, government agency or a country which is directly or
indirectly responsible for killing civilians should be declared as
‘Terrorist’ and the ICJ (International Court of Justice) should decide
about it.
Freedom Fighter: Any organization, government
agency or a country which is involved in the struggle for freedom in
such a way that no civilian is killed should be considered as ‘Freedom
Fighters’.

- If
innocent women and children are killed, then it is an act of terrorism.
Whereas, targeting the army can be called freedom movement.

- Terrorism targets innocent civilians unlike
freedom struggle.

- It is indeed very difficult to separate
freedom movement from terrorist groups but anyone who is found involved in
killing innocent civilians should be brought to justice.

- A freedom movement organization does not
target innocent, non-military, non-political people unlike terrorist
activities.

It is a tricky
topic and must be handled very carefully with equal participation of
all UN member countries.
