negotiations and make a firm commitment by adopting the
Convention," he added.

variety of legal and technical issues including differences
over the definition of terrorism.

Earlier, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned the
attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul as a "senseless" act.

"The Secretary-General strongly condemns the senseless
attack that took place in Kabul, in the vicinity of the
Indian Embassy and the Afghan Ministry of the Interior,"
Michelle Montas, spokesperson for Ban, said.

The UN Security Council also deplored the "reprehensible"
attack demanding that those responsible be brought to justice.
