G20 Leaders in South Africa Condemn Terrorism in All Forms in Joint Declaration

The G20 Leaders’ Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, concluded with a firm and unified stance against terrorism, as world leaders issued a joint declaration denouncing terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. The declaration, strongly supported by India, reinforces the global commitment to counterterrorism without exceptions or distinctions.

Journalist Geeta Mohan reported that the final G20 Leaders’ Declaration “clearly condemns all forms and manifestations of terrorism,” echoing long-standing G20 positions and reaffirming that there are no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ terrorists.


Focus on Global Conflicts and Peace Efforts

Beyond counterterrorism, the declaration also addressed ongoing global conflicts, including a specific reference to the war in Ukraine. Leaders pledged to intensify diplomatic efforts and work collectively to promote peace in conflict-affected regions.

This renewed commitment underscores the G20’s role in navigating geopolitical instability while fostering collaboration to address global security challenges.


Consensus Highlights Unified Global Position

The adoption of the declaration reflects broad consensus among the world’s major economies. The statement strengthened previous commitments made in earlier G20 summits and positioned counterterrorism as a non-negotiable global priority.

The summit’s outcome signifies a clear message from the international community: terrorism, in any shape or form, has no justification.
