Terrorism condemned
The United Nations has closed ranks on one of its most divisive issues and unanimously adopted a resolution condemning all acts of terrorism as criminal. The United States Ambassador, LeuitenantGeneral Vernon Walters, hailed the action, taken without a formal vote in the 159-member General Assembly, as “a symbol of new times.” Cuba, the sole dissenter when the assembly’s legal committee adopted the resolution 118-1 last week, shifted its position and joined the consensus at the plenary meeting. Israel, which had abstained in committee along with Bourkina Fasso, also supported the resolution, although its ambassador expressed doubts that States like Libya, Syria, 'South Yemen, and Iran would live up to the resolution.—New York. .
