#2 When crafting that definition don't forget to include an exception for those that target the Jeewwwwwsss! Otherwise the Islamic nations will never pass the definition.

I know colonialism is bad and all but you ever wonder what it would have been like if the Europeans would have held on long enough to imprint traces of civilization into the Middle East?

#3 im more positive on this - Russia joined with the US, France, Germany, UK, Romania, to insist on addressing the issue of non-AQ terrorists. They wanted to go further now, IIUC, but Pakistan and Algeria objected. Neither of the latter has a veto, and ultimately something should go through - frustrated that theyre gonna do a "study" first - yeah, but thats reality on the East River.

#4 Agree with LH. Note the implication of this:

The resolution creates a Security Council working group to study measures to be taken against terrorists and terrorist groups not affiliated with al-Qaida or Afghanistan's former Taliban rulers

Implies:

1) the Russians recognize that the UNSC structure is inadequate and therefore needs to be supplanted by a "working group" that presumably comprises serious nations that actually can and will project power against terrorists; and

2) terror is depoliticized. It's not a specific threat to America or Israel but a global threat to all civilized nations.

This could pave the way for a successor security group that would bypass the UNSC. Perhaps it could include the UNSC 5 plus serious and capable powers such as Japan, Germany, Australia, India, South Korea, maybe Indonesia and Turkey.

#5 i think working groups are actually pretty routine at the UNSC. an ad hoc commitee to write the study, not a seperate implenatation body. The implementation will still be by UNSC resolution, as with the previous one to extradite AQ and Taliban.

#6 for example
"Resolution 843 (1993)

The Security Council,

Recalling its resolution 724 (1991) concerning Yugoslavia and all other relevant resolutions,

Recalling also Article 50 of Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,

Conscious of the fact that an increasing number of requests for assistance have been received under the provisions of Article 50 of the Charter of the United Nations,

Noting that the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 724 (1991), at its 65th meeting, set up a working group to examine the above-mentioned requests,

Confirms that the Committee established pursuant to resolution 724 (1991) is entrusted with the task of examining requests for assistance under the provisions of Article 50 of the Charter of the United Nations;

Welcomes the establishment by the Committee of its working group and invites the Committee, as it completes the examination of each request, to make recommendations to the President of the Security Council for appropriate action.
