The global fight against terror

19 Jan 2015

Moreover, as evidenced by the series of CT conventions passed by the United Nations General Assembly in the 1990s, the focus of the international community has not been the motives of terrorists, but the acts they carry out. [...] As usual, the Council moved quickly to condemn the bomb- ings and to impose sanctions against those responsible through the adoption of Resolution 1267 (1999), but this resolution also created the 1267 Committ ee to monitor the implementation of the sanctions. [...] The EU has also been one of the strongest proponents of the UNGCTS and has modeled its own CT strategy, the Eu- ropean Union Counter-Terrorism Strategy (EUCTS), to closely mirror the priorities set out in the General Assembly’s strategy. [...] The category of “protection” aims to reduce the impact of terrorist att acks and includes such measures as improving the security of infrastructure and increasing border security (Council of the European Union 2005, 10). [...] The Plan also created the Algiers Centre for the Study and Research of Terrorism (ACSRT), which works to enhance cooperation and improve the CT capabilities of its member states.
