MOSCOW, December 10 (RIA Novosti) - The countries harboring terrorists should make their legislation comply with UN Security Council resolutions, the Russian foreign minister said Saturday.

"The resolution of the [UN] Security Council which criminalized incitement for terror is filling a very important gap in counter terrorist legislation internationally and it does oblige all countries including the countries where these people find refuge to bring their legislation in line with the Security Council demands," Sergei Lavrov told Russia Today, Russia's first 24-hour English-language news channel.

Lavrov said the resolution obliged mass media and the public not to give floor to people who incite others to terror.

"This is quite a topical thing these days given the fact that Russia is insisting on extradition of certain people like Ahmad Zakayev, for example, who is living in London and who is constantly on TV screens calling for repetition of terrorist attacks against Russia and praising things like the attack on Nalchik, for example," the minister said.

"We still insist on the need to fight terrorism with the single standard not from the point of double standards. Unfortunately we are not yet there. And we believe that the latest terrorist attacks in various parts of the world would send the messages to all the capitals where the double standards are still appearing," Lavrov said.
