NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen Statement on Osama Bin Laden
I congratulate President Barack Obama and all those who made the operation against Osama Bin Laden possible. This is a significant success for the security of NATO Allies and all the nations which have joined us in our efforts to combat the scourge of global terrorism to make the world a safer place for all of us.
NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen
NATO made clear that it considered the September 11 attacks on the United States an attack against all Allies. We remember the thousands of innocent lives lost to terrorist atrocities in so many of our nations, in Afghanistan, and around the world.
As terrorism continues to pose a direct threat to our security and international stability, international cooperation remains key and NATO is at the heart of that cooperation.
NATO Allies and partners will continue their mission to ensure that Afghanistan never again becomes a safe haven for extremism, but develops in peace and security. We will continue to stand for the values of freedom, democracy and humanity that Osama Bin Laden wanted to defeat.
The fight against terrorism is high on NATO’s agenda. Both the new Strategic Concept¹ and the Lisbon Summit Declaration² make clear that terrorism poses a real and serious threat to the security and safety of the Alliance and its members. NATO will continue to fight this scourge, individually and collectively, in accordance with international law and the principles of the UN Charter. The Alliance will in particular enhance its capacity to deter, defend, disrupt and protect against this threat including through advanced technologies, more consultations with its Partners and greater information and intelligence sharing.
Terrorism is a universal scourge that knows no border, nationality or religion. It is therefore a challenge that the international community must tackle together. NATO contributes to the international fight against terrorism in multiple areas, and through various means. The Alliance’s activities in the fight against terrorism are in strict accordance with UN principles and international law, including international humanitarian and human rights law.
The multifaceted nature of terrorism is such that NATO has engaged in a number of initiatives – political, operational, conceptual, military, technological, scientific and economic,– to address this issue. As a consequence many areas of NATO’s activity are nowadays involved in the fight against terrorism.
The Alliance contributes a range of assets to the international community in the fight against terrorism. First, NATO is a permanent Transatlantic consultation forum, capable of transforming discussions into collective decisions. Second, NATO is backed by military capabilities at the Alliance’s disposal. Third, NATO is part of a very large network of partnerships involving other states and international organizations.
