UN bans Jamaat-ud-Dawa; declares it a terror outfit

Normally, it is a proof in itself if the whole world believes in the same thing.

I think that is an example of ad populum - a logical fallacy.

The whole world can believe anything, but they need to provide PROOF of guilt.

You are trying to trivialize the facts in my post by your quote which is incorrect in this context.
1. Argumentum ad populum in logic, is a fallacious argument that concludes a proposition to be true only because many or all people believe it.
My post is not about many or all people's belief, or mass appeal. It is about the belief & conviction of many or all NATIONS except Pakistan. First NATIONs vs people is a big differrence, for which ad populum is not relevant..

Now this conviction leads them (the nations) to join togethor in a UNSC resolution, An international body like UNSC is not convinced by simple hearsay & news reports, but based on reviewing the whole body of evidence. Their decision will also be influenced by circumstances, previous history of behaviour, international reputation & clout of affected parties...
There is the most important difference.

2. I also have quoted some of the rational voices in your own media, who are not addicted by the myopia which is prevalent in many a poster here. The whole history of post 9/11 as indicated in my other references also has to be seen.

So it is about the totality of the facts presented in my earlier post including the aspects listed above, & some referred articles.
