For India, the bright side is that there will be no similar resolution on the US aggression on terrorist camps in Afghanistan, with which India is directly concerned. India has consistently sought to differentiate between America's actions in Sudan and Afghanistan.

The strongly worded draft resolution condemning the US for its ``unilateral and unwarranted action'' is despite the presence of US Assistant Secretary of State Princeton Leeman in Durban as an observer. The formal opening of the 12th Non-Aligned Movement meet tomorrow with representatives from 113 countries follows sessions between officials and foreign ministers over the last four days to finalise the draft resolutions.

The resolution against the US actions in Afghanistan could not be taken up since the Rabani government has not asked for a condemnation. Effectively, however, it is the Taliban andnot the official Rabani government which is in control of the country.

Apart from the resolution on terrorism being in tune with India's own perception, India also scored a victory in members' acceptance of Egypt's proposal that there should be an international conference under the aegis of the United Nations to discuss how to combat terrorism globally.

While India has got its way on the NAM resolutions relating to terrorism, it still is uncertain whether India and Pakistan will be indirectly rebuked by NAM for their recent nuclear tests.

Till this evening, there was no final decision on the wording of the resolution on disarmament. While India will not be named, the phrasing of the resolution will be significant.

Several countries, including reportedly the host country South Africa, have been pressing for a resolution which will call for halting nuclear weaponisation and tacitly support the existing nuclear power structure under NPT and CTBT.

India's stand, however, is that its nuclear tests cannotbe seen in isolation but in totality. India is pressing for non-discriminatory nuclear disarmament within a specified time frame.

While for India the focus this summit has been on the terrorism and nuclear issues, most African and Asian countries leaders felt that the summit's economic resolution is most important.

The draft of the NAM economic resolution stresses the need to set up a forum where developing countries can consider ways of re-structuring the international economy so that an economic crisis like that in South East Asia can be avoided.

At tomorrow's function, President Nelson Mandela will take over as chairman of NAM. This is seen as a significant point in NAM's history vindicating the movement's struggle against apartheid and other forms of discrimination over the past three-and-a-half decades.
