Stop Terrorism...

All too often we are reminded that terrorism continues to inflict pain and suffering on people’s lives all over the world. Almost no week goes by without an act of terrorism taking place somewhere in the world, indiscriminately affecting innocent people who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Countering this scourge is in the interest of all nations and the issue has been on the agenda of the United Nations for decades.

Sixteen universal instruments (thirteen instruments and three amendments) against international terrorism have been elaborated within the framework of the United Nations system relating to specific terrorist activities. Member States through the General Assembly have been increasingly coordinating their counter-terrorism efforts and continuing their legal norm-setting work. The Security Council has also been active in countering terrorism through resolutions and by establishing several subsidiary bodies. At the same time a number of programmes, offices and agencies of the United Nations system have been engaged in specific activities against terrorism, further assisting Member States in their counter-terrorism efforts.

To consolidate and enhance these activities, Member States in September 2006 embarked upon a new phase in their counter-terrorism efforts by agreeing on a global strategy to counter terrorism. The Strategy marks the first time that all Member States of the United Nations have agreed to a common strategic and operational framework to fight terrorism. The Strategy forms a basis for a concrete plan of action: to address the conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism; to prevent and combat terrorism; to take measures to build state capacity to fight terrorism; to strengthen the role of the United Nations in combating terrorism; and to ensure the respect of human rights while countering terrorism. The Strategy builds on the unique consensus achieved by world leaders at their 2005 September Summit to condemn terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.

Updates

The General Assembly held its first review of the implementation of the Strategy on 4-5 September 2008 and adopted a resolution reaffirming its commitment to the Strategy and its implementation. As one of the inputs to this process, the Secretary-General has compiled a report on activities of the UN system in implementing the Strategy.

On 9 September 2008, the Secretary General convened the first ever global Symposium on Supporting Victims of Terrorism. A report summarizing the key themes and recommendations of the Symposium and a video summary have been produced and were released at a discussion with Victims, Member States, and NGOs on 18 March 2009.

In June 2009, the Secretary-General made initial arrangements to institutionalize the Task Force by establishing a CTITF-Secretariat in the Department of Political Affairs (DPA). CTITF aims to catalyze and mobilize counter-terrorism efforts of various UN system entities to assist Member States in implementing the Strategy.

Sermon for the Day...

Happy Sunday! Hope Y'all went to church. Well,  As funny as it may seem, I did go to church today and I'm back. For the sinners who didn't I have a question for Y'all.

If tonight you stood in heaven's court to seek eternal favor, would you face Jesus Christ as Judge or would you face him as your savior? There are many who don't quite know for sure what that verdict would be ever.... So let's imagine for a moment you are standing dead center in the court room of Forever...

Think.... Sitting before you is a counter, massive and intense, its here your fate will be determined before this Judges' bench, then a voice booms this court is now in session and your adrenaline starts to rush peering down with eyes that see through your soul is God the father, your Judge...

Then off to your left across the room is the virtual Sullivan of sin, stepping out of shadows of condemnation, you worse nightmare walks in, on his face is the smirk of evil incarnate, his mind fixed on your destruction in hell, you've just been introduced to your prosecuting attorney non other than satan himself...

The Bible says he's the accuser of the brethren so guess what he's gon' do... He's gonna accuse you of your sins and he knows them all, both the old ones and the new, He's prepared his case for years and now the golden moment is his so in arrogance he presents his case to the judge and it comes out sounding like this...

"God you see this worthless piece of thrash over here, this one's a sinner to the core, this one has committed adultery, cursed his neighbor, stolen money, been drugs, alcohol and even more. This hopeless wretch has even slandered friends and by the guilty face this whole court room can tell that to a moral certainty and beyond every reasonable doubt, this one deserves eternal judgment in hell"

The words of accusation still echo, your evey sin thrown up in your face, God opens the book where every deed is recorded and says "Now let's see what this book has to say" Then God says "The book says you did this, this and this and every other thing you were accused of today, now before I sentence you to hell forever, are there any last words you have to say?"

With God to your front and satan the prosecutor to your left, there's one frusty truth remaining, one we should never ever ever forget... there on the other side of the court room is the one and only son of God revealed in time and space, Now He is your defence attorney who has never lost a case, He's not Buddha Mohhamed or krishna, or any other who succumbed to death, Ladies and gentle men on the other side of the court room is Jesus christ Of Nazareth...

Then Jesus jumps up and says  "Now wait a minute Judge, I've got something to say, may I remind you that on a cross two thousand years ago I washed his sins away, I was crucified, I died and was buried and long about the mid night hour the power of God hit me and I walked out of that grave... Alive and well with resurrection power..."

And the devil says "Its written in the book it's in the book, check the book" and God says "OK" God lifts the book and says now lets see what this book has to say" God turns to the first page the second page, the third page and by the fourth the devil seemed shook, God closes it and says "The Blood of Jesus must have worked cause there's absolutely nothing in this book"

The devil says "wait a minute check that book again, all his sins are written down, they're all right there" God says "Devil maybe you're mistaking altogether, maybe its this other book right here" and the devil cries "No not that book, not that one" and God says "Devil why are you so uptight?" And God lifts the book and the dust flies and on the cover its written "THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE"

The question is... Is your name in that book? Think....

Help the Needy

Hello once again. La Frusty is here again to say something very important.
I am not here to tell you stories, the truth is that I am human just like you and humans need sympathy. Just like the kind of sympathy I had on a patient today. I actually took her to the hospital to take her dose of injection for the day. Think about this... What would have happened if I didn't take her to the hospital? may be things would have gotten really ugly...



What am I saying in essence? We all heard about the disaster in Haiti. Frusty has made his own contributions to them. Please in whatever way you can, please help them. If you can send cash, materials or your prayers please do, and God will not forget you. Just do the right thing...
