  1. Our efforts must be evidence-based, tailored, age- and gender-responsive and compliant with human rights principles, and they must devote sufficient resources to prevention. In addition, we will continue to engage with a diverse range of stakeholders, including academia and research partners, community and religious leaders, civil-society organizations, representatives of women and young people and the private sector. In conclusion, I would like to reiterate CTED’s commitment to the successful implementation of its mandate under the policy guidance of the Counter- Terrorism Committee and in support of Member States’ efforts to counter terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.

  2. The principles will assist Member States in preventing, detecting and disrupting the use of emerging financial technologies, information and communications technologies and unmanned aircraft systems for terrorist purposes. To further support Member States’ efforts to counter the financing of terrorism, CTED also released two thematic summary assessments of gaps and areas requiring further action to implement the Security Council’s resolutions related to terrorist financing. Those assessments are aimed at informing the design of targeted technical assistance and capacity-building programmes by UNOCT and other implementing agencies and are accessible on CTED’s website. I would like to emphasize that it is critical for our counter-terrorism measures to be part of a comprehensive approach to addressing the threat of terrorism.

  3. If we are to successfully counter the complex threat of Da’esh and other terrorist groups, we need to learn from past experience while identifying and addressing new and emerging threats. In that regard, the Counter- Terrorism Committee and CTED continue to work with our partners to explore how new technological tools and applications, such as generative artificial intelligence, machine-learning systems and other emerging cyber- based platforms can be used to identify threats and enhance States’ counter-terrorism capabilities. Following the adoption of the Delhi Declaration, CTED has been consulting United Nations partners, think tanks, civil society, academia and the private sector to develop a set of non-binding guiding principles for Member States.

  4. Fourthly, the United Nations has stepped up its efforts to hold Da’esh accountable for its crimes. In that regard, CTED continued to assess criminal justice frameworks with a view to enhancing accountability for terrorist acts in accordance with relevant Council resolutions and international standards. CTED partnered with the United Nations Team of Experts on the Rule of Law and Sexual Violence in Conflict to explore criminal justice avenues for sexual and gender- based violence when committed by a designated terrorist group or with terrorist intent. Drawing on practitioners’ experiences in the field and the perspectives of civil society, it is clear that only through accountability and justice can we begin to address the fear and devastation that terrorism inflicts on individuals, communities and nations.

  5. Entities’ efforts were focused on countering the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons, responding to the nexus between organized crime and terrorism, preventing terrorists’ travel, protecting vulnerable targets and mainstreaming gender and human-rights- based responses to terrorism. This year the Counter- Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED), acting on behalf of the Committee, completed its first comprehensive assessment visits to Benin in March and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in July. The visits focused on issues such as the threat of terrorism, countering violent extremism conducive to terrorism, criminal justice responses, countering terrorism financing, law-enforcement measures and border management, international cooperation and human rights and gender dimensions.

  6. It is therefore essential that the United Nations provide tailored and comprehensive support to African Member States to boost their capacity in addressing underlying conditions conducive to terrorism and strengthening criminal justice responses to terrorism, border management responses and efforts to counter the financing of terrorism. During the reporting period, United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact entities strengthened their partnerships with some African countries to respond to evolving threats, particularly in and around East and West Africa, especially in the Sahel.

  7. The United Nations continues to assist those Member States facing challenges related to the return of their nationals, including through the Global Framework for United Nations Support on Syrian Arab Republic and Iraq Third Country National Returnees. Through that framework, the United Nations is providing support on legal protection for children, security and accountability for adults, rehabilitation and transitional services, and reintegration. Thirdly, the Da’esh operational presence in parts of Africa continues to evolve.

  8. Secondly, the report welcomes the continued efforts of Member States to repatriate their citizens from the north-east of the Syrian Arab Republic, including some for the first time, which is a commendable development. We must acknowledge the complex challenges that Member States face in addressing the dire situation in the camps in north-east of the Syrian Arab Republic, especially with regard to women and children associated with Da’esh foreign terrorist fighters. At the same time, we must recall the responsibility of Member States to bring terrorists to justice and to demonstrate international cooperation in efforts to do so. That also requires whole-of-society and whole-of- government approaches to the prosecution, rehabilitation and reintegration of foreign terrorist fighters.

  9. A fragmented geopolitical landscape, including the presence of terrorist groups operating across multiple regions, the emergence of new conflict areas and growing complexities in armed conflict situations have created additional challenges for Member States and made the resolution of conflicts more difficult. As highlighted in the Secretary-General’s New Agenda for Peace, that trend requires a comprehensive approach that integrates a wilful pursuit of peace while also addressing the root causes of violence and conditions that may be conducive to radicalization to terrorism, rather than continuing solely with over-securitized responses in countering terrorism.

  10. Ms. Gherman: My sincere thanks go to the members of the Council for the opportunity to brief them on the seventeenth report of the Secretary-General on the threat posed by Da’esh (S/2023/568). I would also like to thank Under-Secretary-General Voronkov for his overview and to commend both the Office of Counter- Terrorism (UNOCT) and the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team for their close collaboration in formulating the report. As the report makes clear, Da’esh remains agile and ambitious, despite its diminished territorial control. In my briefing, I will highlight four key trends from the reporting period. First, terrorist activity has continued to occur predominantly in the context of existing conflict.
