Perpetrators must be brought to justice: UN

United Nations, November 26

As India commemorates the 7th anniversary of the 2008 Mumbai attacks, UN chief Ban Ki- moon has said perpetrators of all terror attacks must be brought to justice and underlined that improved ties between India and Pakistan could stem the threat posed by terrorism.

“Without prejudicing the law enforcement in individual countries, I want to reaffirm that all perpetrators of terrorist attacks must be brought to justice,” the Secretary-General said, replying to a question on the need for Pakistan to do more to check the terror outfits operating from its soil and bring the perpetrators of the 26/11 attacks to justice.

The UN chief underscored that improved relations between India and Pakistan could create a more conducive environment for both countries to stem the threat posed by terrorism.
