Currently , the negotiations of the Comprehensive Terrorism Convention are deadlocked because of differences over the definition of terrorism . Thalif Deen described the situation as follows : " The key sticking points in the draft treaty revolve around several controversial yet basic issues , including the definition of ´ terrorism ´ . For example , what distinguishes a " terrorist organisation " from a ' liberation movement ' ? And do you exclude activities of national armed forces , even if they are perceived to commit acts of terrorism ? If not , how much of this constitutes ' state terrorism ' ? " India proposed this convention in 1996 and has since demanded consistently , especially in the wake of the 2008 Mumbai attacks . The issue was once again pushed by the Indian Prime Minister , Narendra Modi in his address at the 69th Session of the UN General Assembly held in September 2014 . India further pressed for the adoption of CCIT following the July 2016 Dhaka attack
