I write in regard to another horrific terrorist attack perpetrated by the Iranian Al Quds forces and Hezbollah, as part of a gruesome campaign targeting Israelis and Jews around the world.

To deprive a child of his smiles and dreams and burden him with gore and machine guns is an appalling indictment of the values of the certain groups and individuals.

In one particularly horrific incident in early November, an estimated 150 people were killed during two days of violence in the town of Kiwanja.

The spectacular horror in the use of attacks will remain, I am afraid, a tactic of the insurgency for the time being, as will their efforts to interfere with the current military surge.

Whereas it has been internationally recognized, including by the principal organs of the United Nations, that Armenia unleashed the war, attacked Azerbaijan and occupied its territories, including the Daghlyq Garabagh (Nagorno Karabakh) region, carried out ethnic cleansing on a massive scale, perpetrated other heinous crimes in the course of the war and established the ethnically constructed subordinate separatist entity on the captured Azerbaijani territory, it is curious that Armenian propaganda continues to qualify the aggression against Azerbaijan as “a peaceful and constitutional demand of the Nagorno Karabakh people to exercise its right to self-determination”.

Sometimes we give them encouragement by expressions to the effect that there is no military solution, and this has given them a pretext to continue their heinous crimes.

In addition, mass media outlets contained horrifying reports about the killing of the residents and defenders of Khojaly by indiscriminate Armenian gunfire and other brutal acts by invading troops (more information is available in document E/CN.4/2002/151).

There is scarce information on the numbers of children deprived of liberty and on the reasons that lead to their placement in justice and care institutions; independent monitoring mechanisms are rarely available to safeguard their rights and address their complaints; and sensationalistic information, combined with ill perception of growing juvenile delinquency, fuel social pressure for the criminalization of children and adolescents, and for the introduction of increasingly lower ages of criminal responsibility and longer measures of deprivation of liberty.

The Security Council has been dealing with this topic for more than 10 years, yet civilian security during conflict is becoming more and more critical, if not at times dramatic, as we have witnessed in these past months, weeks and days in the Gaza Strip, Iraq, Darfur and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, to name just a few.

It was especially ironic that Israel, with its appalling record of war crimes, was among the sponsors.

Lastly, the appalling violence in [...]

We have no doubt that raising such allegations is nothing but an attempt to divert attention from the horrendous record of non-compliance by those countries with their nuclear disarmament obligations, including through nuclear weapon-sharing, hosting nuclear weapons in their territories and assisting the only non-party to the NPT in the Middle East, the Israeli regime, with its nuclear weapons programme.

Those who are experienced in working with the grotesque and unconscionable practice of enforced disappearance are familiar with the need to distinguish an unacknowledged detention, that perhaps exceeds national or international time limits and thus constitutes at least arbitrary detention, from the horrible reality of enforced disappearance.

Moreover, with regard to the explanation given by the first complainant that he has been registered with the secret police because of his work as an interpreter for asylum-seekers in Sweden, the Swedish embassy in Kabul has reported that it has no knowledge of the present Afghan security service engaging in “asylum espionage” or if its registers contain information on Afghan asylum-seekers.
