India Calls for Terrorist Acts Meeting Threshold to Be Recognised as Crimes Against Humanity at UN
India said terrorist acts meeting the legal threshold should fall under crimes against humanity, while urging a new UN convention to avoid duplicating existing legal mechanisms.
- On Monday, Mythili, Counsellor and Legal Adviser at the Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations, delivered a statement at the 81st Session of the UNGA Sixth Committee concerning the "United Nations Conference of Plenipotentiaries on Prevention and Punishment of Crimes against Humanity."
- India's position reflects a 12-year zero-tolerance approach toward terrorism, involving strengthened legal frameworks, institutional reforms, and intelligence integration that enhanced inter-agency coordination across agencies.
- Focused actions against cross-border terrorism, dismantling of financing networks, and modernization of security forces have reinforced India's national security architecture, alongside expanded cybersecurity capabilities against digital threats.
- India emphasized the "primary responsibility of States to prevent, investigate and prosecute crimes against humanity through national legal and judicial mechanisms," calling for respect for "State sovereignty and the principle of non-interference in internal affairs."
- To develop the international framework, India stressed the need for "broadly accepted principles of international law, stronger national capacities, and transparent and inclusive negotiations" while opposing duplication of existing legal mechanisms.
