Diplomats urge United Nations to help member states in fighting terrorism Tue Jun 4, 8:46 AM ET VIENNA, Austria - The United Nations (news - web sites) is considering beefing up its terrorism prevention efforts to help member nations develop domestic warning systems to avert attacks, diplomats said Tuesday. Discussion about expanding the U.N.'s anti-terrorism efforts came during a symposium here on the contribution of the United Nations to combatting terrorism. The U.N. terrorism prevention branch is part of the Vienna-based U.N. office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention. The branch, with a staff of two, offers member states research and other technical help to fight terrorism. Austria has pledged dlrs 1 million to the effort, but the head of the anti-drug program, Antonio Maria Costa, said any decision was "premature." "The whole exercise needs to be examined carefully," he said. The seminar was intended to see how the Austrian-based U.N. agencies can help in the fight against terrorism. Diplomats also saw the meeting as a way to maintain political momentum to act against terrorists following the Sept. 11 attacks. U.N. officials also hope to promote better regional cooperation and to help member states go through the process of ratifying 12 existing U.N. conventions on terrorism. story.news.yahoo.com
