"Security experts and diplomats from 56 countries and the United Nations warned yesterday that widening gaps and rising barriers among governments are hampering global counterterrorism efforts. They called on nations to work together to find a 'middle way' amid hard and soft approaches to fighting terror. In the 'Cebu Concord' drafted at the end of the three-day, first-ever Philippine Counter-Terrorism Experts' Conference (CTEC) here with the theme 'Defeating Dilemmas in Counter-Terrorism,' the delegates also emphasized the need for governments to respect human rights, uphold the rule of law, and improve governance to enable the global fight against terror to succeed.
