The top leaders of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) on Tuesday resolved to check spread of terrorism and disrupt terror financing while coming down hard on states using terrorist and extremist groups to advance their political and geopolitical goals.
A declaration issued at the conclusion of the virtual SCO Summit hosted by India said the member states will eliminate “sleeper cells” and terrorist safe havens, and counter the radicalisation of youth and dissemination of terrorist ideology.
The SCO states, subject to their national laws, also agreed to develop common principles and approaches to form a unified list of terrorist, separatist and extremist organisations whose activities are prohibited on the territories of the member nations of the grouping, it added.
