The Global Strategy • Measures to address the conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism; • Measures to prevent and combat terrorism; • Measures to build States’ capacity to prevent and combat terrorism and to strengthen the role of the United Nations system in this regard; • Measures to ensure respect for human rights for all and the rule of law as the fundamental basis of the fight against terrorism.

  5. The CTITF Role • United Nations’ departments, funds and agencies, along with its relevant international partners, play a critical part within their respective mandates on policy advice, institutional development and assistance delivery related to the implementation of the Global Strategy. • CTITF has a role in: • Promoting exchange of information and experiences; • Launching joint programmes; • Ensuring coordination and minimizing duplication.

Institutionalization: A/RES/64/235 • Promote coordination within the United Nations system and with key international and regional organizations towards the effective implementation of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. • Provide Member States with policy advice and good practices from the United Nations system in implementing the 4 Pillars of the Strategy. • Coordinate the delivery of requested assistance to Member States from the United Nations system on the implementation of the Strategy.

  8. Strategic vision • While the primary responsibility of implementing the Global Strategy rests with Member States, CTITF will: • Ensure that United Nations system entities are attuned to the needs of Member States in this regard; • Provide Member States with the necessary policy advice; • Spread in-depth knowledge of the Strategy; • Expedite and ease technical assistance to Member States, where needed; • Serve as a platform for Member States to share their input and experiences on counter-terrorism with the United Nations system and relevant international organizations, as well as with each other.

  9. CTITF Plan of Action:A three-pronged approach 1. Building in-depth knowledge of the Global Strategy amongst Governments, relevant ministries, regional and subregional organizations and key interested civil society and the private sector, as provided for in the Strategy, in order to inform all stakeholders on the Strategy and the need for its implementation. 2. Strengthening partnerships with Member States, United Nations system entities and relevant international and regional organizations in order to: • enhance collaboration and exchange of information on the implementation of the Strategy. • promote the flow of coordinated policy advice and access to good practices between United Nations entities and Member States on the Strategy. • encourage and support the delivery of requested technical assistance within the Organization’s vision of “One United Nations – Delivering as One.” 3. Ensuring comprehensiveness in the implementation of the Strategy by highlighting all four pillars of the Strategy in its work, particularly Pillars 1 and 4.

  10. Activities: Four Pillars • CTITF has expanded its engagement with key entities that deal with Pillars 1 and 4 of the Strategy. • Objective: a counter-terrorism approach that is comprehensive, holistic and respectful of human rights and the rule of law. • Pillars 2 and 3 should continue to receive attention • Law enforcement capacity • Judicial and legal machinery • Border control systems • Overall Government capability

  11.
