  1. “The United Nations counter- terrorism architecture has also provided a useful platform for CTED to collaborate with the Office of Counter-Terrorism and other entities of the Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact to work together towards our common objectives.

  3. “The Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) was able to provide its full support in organizing the special meeting, which involved the participation of key stakeholders, including Member States, United Nations agencies, international and regional organizations, civil-society organizations, the private sector and members of CTED’s Global Research Network. The special meeting focused on three key areas — the Internet, including social media platforms and related online spaces; countering terrorism financing and new payment technologies; and the misuse of unmanned aerial systems. The special meeting brought to the forefront overarching considerations of the One United Nations approach, upholding human rights, the role of civil society and honouring the victims of terrorism.”

  4. “They have forged strong links across borders and built robust networks, exploiting virtual platforms through which they exchange views, radicalize others into terrorism, find recruits and support one another financially and operationally. Against that backdrop, criminal justice actors have a critical role to play in addressing these threats in a meaningful manner. Terrorists continue to exploit online platforms, including gaming platforms, to recruit and radicalize, raise funds, plan and coordinate operations and disseminate propaganda. Against that backdrop, the Counter-Terrorism Committee held a special meeting in India on 28 and 29 October on countering the use of new and emerging technologies for terrorist purposes.”

  5. “The terrorist landscape continues to evolve. Terrorist groups such as Da’esh, Al-Qaida and their affiliates continue to recalibrate their strategic and operational methods. With such groups and cells becoming more locally based and decentralized, the threat has become diffuse and diverse in nature. Away from the traditional theatres, battlefields have emerged in the Sahel, in West, East, Southern and Central Africa and parts of Asia. Meanwhile, Da’esh persists in its attempts to regroup in its traditional geographic centre. We are also seeing an increase in threats from terrorism on the basis of xenophobia, racism and other forms of intolerance. These groups have become more transnational in nature.”

In this regard, the Committee, with the support of CTED, has arranged a series of related thematic and regional briefings.

The current draft resolution, once adopted, will add further tasks to the mandate of the Counter- Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) in this area. Under the policy guidance of the Counter- Terrorism Committee, CTED is required to monitor, facilitate and promote the implementation of the aforementioned resolutions by Member States and to support the policy development of the Committee and the Council and their efforts in defining the international counter-terrorism agenda.”
