The Council then went on to welcome the work undertaken by the ICAO and other international organisations in their efforts to prevent international terrorism, particularly against civil aircraft. It also urged the organisations, as well as Member States and the producers of plastic or sheet explosives to intensify research into making such explosives easier to detect and in the prevention of international terrorism as a whole, further calling upon all states and organisations to share the results of the research.
