"The nightmare of Somalia will forever remind of the urgent need for prevention, for early action and for effectively dealing with civil wars and tormenting ethnic and religious conflicts." The new General Assembly president points to the U.N.'s official definition of terrorism, which is due in September, as one step in that process. He also says th...
