SECURITY COUNCIL CONDEMNS, ‘IN STRONGEST TERMS’,
TERRORIST ATTACKS ON UNITED STATES
Unanimously Adopting Resolution 1368 (2001),
Council Calls on All States to Bring Perpetrators
to Justice
The Security Council today, following what
it called yesterday’s "horrifying terrorist
attacks" in New York, Washington, D.C., and
Pennsylvania, unequivocally condemned those acts,
and expressed its deepest sympathy and
condolences to the victims and their families and
to the people and Government of the United
States.
Council members departed from tradition and stood
to unanimously adopt resolution 1368 (2001), by
which they expressed the Council's readiness to
take all necessary steps to respond to the
attacks of 11 September and to combat all forms
of terrorism in accordance with its Charter
responsibilities.
In a related provision, the Council called on all
States to work together urgently to bring to
justice the perpetrators, organizers and sponsors
of those terrorist attacks and stressed that
those responsible for aiding, supporting or
harbouring them would be held accountable.
Also by the text, the Council held that any act
of international terrorism was a threat to
international peace and security. It also called
on the international community to redouble its
efforts to prevent and suppress terrorist acts,
including by increased cooperation and full
implementation of the relevant international anti-
terrorist conventions and Council resolutions.
Addressing the meeting, Secretary-General Kofi
Annan said that everyone felt ˙revulsion at the cold-blooded viciousness of this
attack˙it ˙possible terms. He extended his most profound
sympathy to the victims and their loved ones. A
terrorist attack on one country was an attack on
all humanity, he said.
One by one, Council members expressed shock and
grief at yesterday's attacks and offered their
deepest condolences and support for the
Government and people of the United States. Many
agreed that the whole world, and not just one
country, had been plunged into an unprecedented
time of peril, fear and uncertainty.

Press Release SC/7143
4370th Meeting
(PM) 12
September 2001
The Permanent Representative of the United States
to the United Nations thanked members and world
leaders for their support on that dark day.
Indeed, yesterday's event had been an assault not
just on the United States, but on all who
supported peace and democracy and the values for
which the United Nations stood, he added.
"We will grieve and we will heal," he said. His
country looked to all of those who stood for
peace and justice to stand with it to win the war
against terrorism. Echoing the statement made by
United States President George W. Bush last
night, he said that no distinction would be made
between those who committed those acts and those
who harboured the criminals. The horrific images
burned into global memory would serve as a
constant reminder to all to stamp out that
scourge.
All permanent members of the Security
Council spoke.
The meeting began at noon and was adjourned at
12:42 p.m.

Background

solidarity and condolences to the United States
delegation on behalf of the members of the Council
The Council then observed a moment of silence.
KOFI ANNAN, Secretary-General, said the
Council was meeting today in exceptionally grave
circumstances. The United States, the host
country, and New York, the host city, had been
subjected to a terrorist attack which had
horrified all. While the full extent of the
damage was not yet known, it seemed certain that
thousands had lost their lives and many had
suffered dreadful injuries. ˙shock and revulsion at the cold-blooded
viciousness of the attack˙condemn it, and those who planned it ˙they may be -˙
He extended most profound sympathy to the
victims, their loved ones and to the people and
Government of the United States. ˙that˙with the American Government and people in this
hour.˙which the United Nations had many times
condemned. A terrorist attack on one country was
an attack on humanity as a whole. All nations of
the world must work together to identify the
perpetrators and bring them to justice, he urged.
Sir JEREMY GREENSTOCK (United Kingdom) said
yesterday’s events had ˙beyond imagining˙deep shock and sympathy with the people of the
United States and their determination to wipe out
terrorism globally. His Queen, Elizabeth II, had
expressed heartfelt sympathy to the United States
President, George W. Bush, and admiration for
those trying to cope with the tragedy.
He said the European Union, in a meeting this
morning, said yesterday’s act was not only
against the United States, but against humanity
itself and the life and freedom shared by all.
He said his Prime Minister, Tony Blair, had
expressed similar sentiments and called attention
to the fact that terrorism was the new evil of
today. The United Kingdom supported the
substance of the resolution that the Council was
considering. Yesterday’s act was a global issue,
an attack on modern civilization and an affront
to the human spirit. ˙globally˙
