Nations are not doing enough to fight terrorism, and must adopt a definition of terrorist acts that includes targeting civilians, Britian's U.N. ambassador said Wednesday. Ambassador Emyr Jones-Parry said he wanted to hear nations give a «clear commitment to do more» during a daylong U.N. Security Council discussion about terrorism, AP reported. «It would fly in the face of experience to say actually we're all doing as much as we can,» Jones-Parry said before the meeting began. Since the deadly bombings in London on July 7, Jones-Parry has repeatedly called on nations to get revive long-stalled talks to craft a convention against terrorism. The government says 56 people were known to have died. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has pushed nations to adopt such a convention since the idea was first proposed in 1998, but leaders have been bogged down in disputes over how to define a terrorist act. Jones-Parry said leaders should at least agree that any acts targeting civilians be defined as terrorism.
