STATEMENT ON INTERNATIONAL TBRJtORISM
MAY S, 1986
1? Me, the Heads of state or government of seVIA major
democracies and the representatives of the European
Community, assembled here in Tokyo, strongly reaffirm our
condemnation of international terrorism in all its forms,
of its accomplices and of those, including governments,
who sponsor or support it. We abhor the increase in the
level of such terrorism since our last meeting, and in
particular its blatant and cynical use as an instrument of
government policy. Terrorism has no justification. It
spreads only by the use of contemptible means, ignoring
the values of human life, freedom and digaity. It must be
fought relentlessly and without compromise.
2. Recognizing that the continuing fight against
terrorism is a task which the international community as a
whole has to undertake, we pledge ourselves to make
maximum efforts to fight against that scourge... Terrorism
must be fought effectively through determined, tenacious,
discreet and patient action combining national measures
with International cooperation. Therefore, we urge all
like-minded nations to collaborate with us, particularly
in such international fora as the United Nations, the
International Civil Aviation Organisation and the
International Maritime Organisation, drawing on their
expertise to improve and extend countermeasures against
terrorism and those who sponsor or support it.

and potential threats emanating from terrorist n
activities and those who sponsor or support the m, and on
ways to prevent them.
4. We specify the following as measurer open to any
concerned to deny to international ter y
the opportunity and the means to carry out their alas, a terrorists and
to Identify and deter those who
perpetrate such

- denial of entry to all persons, including diplomatic
personnel, who have been expelled or excluded from one of
our states on suspicion of involvement in international
terrorism or who have been convicted of such a terrorist
offence;
? Improved extradition procedures within due process of
domestic law for bringing to trial those who have
perpetrated such acts of terrorism;
? stricter immigration and visa requirements and
procedures in respect of nationals of states which sponsor
or support terrorism;
? the closest possible bilateral and multilateral
cooperation between police and security organizations and
other relevant authorities in the fight against terrorism.
!ach of us is committed to work in the appropriate
international bodies to which we belong to ensure that
similar measures are accepted and acted upon by as many
other governments as possible.
S. We will maintain close cooperation in furthering the
objectives of this statement and in considering further
measures. We agree to make the 1978 Donn Declaration more
effective in dealing with all forms of terrorism affecting
civil aviation. We are ready to promote bilaterally and
multilaterally further actions to be taken in
international organizations or fora competent to fight
against international terrorism in any of its forms.
