The representative of Pakistan tells the UN Sixth Committee of the General Assembly that the cause of terrorism directed at Israelis is Israel itself: "State Terrorism is another cause of terrorism by individuals and groups." Another understandable cause of terrorism, according to Pakistan, is the the "unfair" portrayal of Islam which "adds fuel to the fire of extremist and terrorist strategies." Pakistan also supports the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC)'s claim of a license to terrorize whatever they regard as "suppressing the struggle of a people for self-determination, or during the course of foreign occupation, or in instances of genocide."
