Treaty Summary:

The Comprehensive Terrorism Convention is intended to supplement the existing core international counter-terrorism treaties. Whereas those treaties outlaw specific types of terrorism such as hijacking, the Comprehensive Terrorism Convention would contain a generic offence intended to fill the gaps left by those earlier treaties. The main unresolved issue is the nature of any exceptions, in particular, the situation of struggles against foreign occupation.
