“Terrorism”1 is a contested term, and how to respond to it is also widely debated. A United Nations (UN) Ad Hoc Committee to Eliminate Terrorism was created by the General Assembly in 1996. They have remained in deadlock as they try to reach an agreement on a comprehensive draft convention to eliminate terrorism. In October 2010 they made another unsuccessful effort at drawing a distinction between “freedom fighters” and “state sponsored terrorism.”2
