Condemning in the strongest terms

northeastern Nigeria, which resulted in a large number of dead and wounded, the
United Nations Security Council today called on all States to cooperate in
bringing the perpetrators to justice.
“The members of the Security Council
reaffirmed that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one
of the most serious threats to international peace and security,” the 15-member
body said in a press statement, which condemned the attack on Dalori village,
in restive Borno state.
According media to reports, Boko Haram,
armed with machine guns, raided the village on Saturday, leaving more than 50
people dead and wounding dozens more.
“The members of the Security Council
underlined the need to bring perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors
of these reprehensible acts of terrorism to justice. They stressed that those
responsible for these terrorist attacks should be held accountable, and urged
all States, in accordance with their obligations under international law and
relevant Security Council resolutions, to cooperate actively with all relevant
authorities in this regard.”
It expressed their deep condolences to the
families and friends of those killed and injured by “these heinous acts” and
commended regional efforts, including through the Multi-National Joint Task
Force, to combat Boko Haram.
Reiterating that any acts of terrorism are
criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever and
whenever, and by whomsoever committed, the Council reaffirmed the need for all
States to combat by all means, within the framework of international law, threats
to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts.
