The Council reiterated the need to bring the perpetrators, organisers, financiers and sponsors of terrorist attacks to justice.

Council members reaffirmed that terrorism in all forms constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security, and that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable.

The 15-member Council also stressed the fundamental principle of the inviolability of diplomatic agents and consular officers and the obligations.

These include, under the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, to take all appropriate steps to prevent any attack on diplomatic agents and consular officers.
