Almaty, 26 January: The world community should form a single list of
terrorist and extremist organizations in addition to other measures in
order to fight terrorism effectively, the head of the CIS
Antiterrorist Centre, Boris Mylnikov, told a session of the UN
Security Council Counter-Terrorism Committee in Almaty on Wednesday
[26 January].
Mylnikov regards countries forming a single list of terrorist and
extremist organizations as “an effective way of anti-terrorist
cooperation”.
He recalled that similar lists had already been adopted within a
number of regional organizations, particularly within the CSTO
[Collective Security Treaty Organization; members are Armenia,
Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Russia] and the SCO
[Shanghai Cooperation Organization; members are China, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Russia].
[Passage omitted: exchange of information about terrorist
organizations is necessary to work out this kind of list]
[In a separate report, in Russian, at 1448 gmt, the
Interfax-Kazakhstan news agency quoted Mylnikov as saying that a draft
agreement on exchange of information about terrorist and extremist
organizations is being considered in the CIS. He said, according to
the agency, was no similar agreement in the world.]
