Ambassadors in Washington briefed on draft resolution submitted by kingdom to UN to condemn terrorist attacks against those enjoying international protection
Dhu Washington Published in Saudi Press Agency on 18 - 11 - 2011

AlHijjah 22, 1432, Nov 18, 2011, SPA -- Ambassador of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to the United States Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir and Deputy U.S. Secretary of State William Burns briefed in Washington today the ambassadors accredited to the U.S. government on the draft resolution submitted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the United Nations to condemn terrorist attacks against those enjoying international protection.
Al-Jubeir provided a briefing on the draft noting that the principle of condemning terrorist acts against those enjoying international protection is a principle of universal concern as international conventions provide for their protection and the protection of diplomatic immunity drawing attention to the negative impact posed by the violation of this principle on international relations.
He stressed that Saudi Arabia's position is clear and that more than thirty five countries have jointed the draft resolution condemning the terrorist attacks against internationally protected persons including the United States of America.
Ambassador Al-Jubeir considered the draft as part of the Kingdom's efforts to move the global efforts and to confirm fulfillment of the obligations under international conventions.
Deputy Secretary of State William Burns, for his part, said that the draft resolution to condemn terrorist attacks against those enjoying international protection comes to condemn a behavior that is unacceptable and harmful to international relations.
He believed that the draft resolution, which will be voted on later today, will strengthen the international efforts in this area and that the United Nations is the appropriate place to send such a message.
In New York, U.S. Permanent Delegate to the United Nations Susan Wright supported the draft resolution describing it as balanced and said it focuses on the condemnation of terrorist attacks against those enjoying international protection.
