intimidate a population, or compel a Government or an international organization to do or to abstain from doing any act; and • Constituting offences within the scope of and as defined in the international conventions and protocols relating to terrorism. Although the Security Council did not express this to be a definition of terrorism, the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism has expressed support for this approach as a means of confining the term to conduct that is of a genuinely terrorist nature.88 This approach is of considerable benefit since it is based on agreed parameters and is compatible with the principles of legality and precision. Despite the lack of an internationally agreed definition of terrorism, it is clear that acts of terrorism are not justified as the means of achieving self-determination or any other objective. Early resolutions of the General Assembly addressing the issue of terrorism contained express affirmations of the principle of self-determination.

It reaffirmed the right to self-determination and independence of all peoples, and upheld the legitimacy of national liberation movements. Since its adoption of the 1994 Declaration on Measures to Eliminate International Terrorism, however, the General Assembly has made it clear that this does not legitimate the use of terrorism by those seeking to achieve self-determination. In its Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, the General Assembly stated that Member States of the United Nations resolve to “consistently, unequivocally and strongly condemn terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, committed by whomever, wherever and for whatever purpose.” The Security Council has expressed in its resolutions 1269 (1999) and 1566 (2004) that all acts of terrorism are unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation.
