- In the wake of growing threats and acts of terrorism across the world, India and Bolivia have called for an early finalization of Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism (CCIT).
- The CCIT is a proposed treaty which intends to criminalize all forms of international terrorism and deny terrorists, their financiers and supporters’ access to funds, arms, and safe havens.
- CCIT was proposed by India in 1996 but it is yet to be ratified and accepted fully by UN General Assembly.
- Except the convention on Terrorism, three other conventions have been universally accepted.
| Name of the Convention | Year adopted |
| International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings | 1997 |
| International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism | 1999 |
| International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism | 2005 |
