UN General Assembly Resolution 56/1: Adopted one day after the September 11th attacks, this resolution stresses that those responsible for the terrorist acts, as well as those who aid and support them, should be held accountable. It also calls for international cooperation to prevent and eradicate terrorism.
UN Security Council Resolution 1368: Also adopted on September 12th, this resolution con-demns the terrorist acts on the U.S. and expresses the UN's solidarity with America. It also urges that the perpetrators, organizers and sponsors of these crimes be brought to justice. Moreover, the resolution calls for all necessary steps to be taken in response to the September 11th attacks and all other forms of terrorism.
UN Security Council Resolution 1373: Adopted in response to a petition from the United States, this unprecedented Security Council resolution implements a wide range of measures to dramatically augment international cooperation to stop terrorism. The resolution requires all nations to prevent and suppress the financing of terrorist acts, freeze financial assets used for terrorism, deny safe harbor to terrorists and to take steps to ensure that those who commit acts of terrorism are held accountable. It also urges nations to intensify the exchange of information on terrorist actions or movements, forged or falsified documents, trafficking of weapons and sensitive materials, the use of communications to further terrorist plots and the spread of weapons of mass destruction.
