Call for united fight against terror
November 25, 2013
Sri Lanka today called for a global coordinated effort to fight terrorism, over four years after the military defeated the LTTE.
Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, speaking at the Galle Dialogue
today, said that some countries are selective in their fight against
terrorism.
“The fight against terrorism is a global one against an enemy defined by
its deliberate targeting of civilians to achieve its goal. Terrorism
should be crushed wherever it emerges and nations should support each
other’s efforts to do so wholeheartedly,” he said.
Rajapaksa said that there is a need for genuine corporation among
nations at the highest level to defeat terrorism is a systematic and
coordinated fashion.
He said that intelligence sharing, fostering maritime domain awareness
through joint operations and combined patrols and enhancing
inter-operatability amongst navies is one way to coordinate
anti-terrorism efforts.
Rajapaksa noted that the experience gained by Sri Lanka through the
successful defeat of the LTTE, especially the sea tiger unit, can be
used in countering piracy in international waters.
The LTTE was the only terrorist outfit known to have possessed a
maritime unit which was used to carry out attacks on the Sri Lanka navy,
including suicide attacks.
Sri Lanka is currently engaged in providing weapons to private firms on ships through floating armories to counter piracy.
Rajapaksa said that utmost precautions are taken to ensure accountability for the weapons and equipment provided.(Colombo Gazette)
