Preface
Over the last ve years, the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy (A/RES/60/288) has solidied political agreement around core objectives and approaches to countering terrorism, using the strengths of multilateral cooperation. With its four thematic pillars, the Global Strategy is a milestone achievement that has laid the foundations for a comprehensive and integrated response to terrorism at the national, regional and international levels. As called for by the General Assembly (A/RES/62/272 and A/RES/64/297), our challenge today is to move to practical implementation. The Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF), comprising 31 United Nations entities and relevant international organizations, serves as a unique platform for cooperation, as an umbrella for system-wide projects requiring multi-entity engagement, and as an incubator for critical ideas and initiatives. September 2011 marked the fth anniversary of the adoption of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. The Secretary-Generals Symposium on International CounterTerrorism Cooperation brought together a number of Heads of State and Government, heads of international and regional organizations, almost 40 Ministers and numerous senior counterterrorism officials. Through the ideas shared by panellists and participants, the Symposium underscored the importance of the Global Strategy and the General Assemblys reviews, relevant Security Council resolutions and other United Nations efforts undertaken to strengthen international cooperation between States on the entire range of counter-terrorism topics. This report provides a snapshot of the key ideas shared by participants during the Symposium and provides policymakers, practitioners and the public with a reection of the resolve of the international community, demonstrated at the highest-level, to counter the threat of terrorism in a manner fully consistent with the Global Strategy. It also serves, we hope, as an inspiration for the international community to continue its collaborative and cooperative work to achieve societies free from the scourge of terrorism.
Robert Orr Chairman, Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force
Statement by Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations, at the Symposium on International Counter-Terrorism Cooperation
New York, 19 September 2011
Mr. President [of the 66th Session of the General Assembly], H.E. Sheikh Hasina, Prime Minister of Bangladesh, H.E. Dr. R. M. Marty Natalegawa, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Indonesia, H.R.H. Prince Saud Al-Faisal Al-Saud, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia, H.E. Ms. Trinidad Jimnez, Minister for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Spain, H.E. Mr. Eric Holder, Attorney-General, United States of America, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, Having just observed the anniversary of 9/11, we can say one thing with certainty the threat of terrorism has not gone away. In the past decade alone, horric images from around the world have been seared into our memory. But any litany of attacks tells just one side of the story the side in which we are perpetually victimized the side in which we are seen only on defence Consider instead what we here in this room know to be the full picture. In recent years especially, we have been writing a different story a story of collective resolve. In the 2005 World Summit Declaration, world leaders condemned terrorism in all its forms, committed by whomever, wherever and for whatever purposes the rst such high-level consensus. Another breakthrough came one year later with the unanimous adoption of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. The Strategy recognizes that terrorism cannot be combated only through security-related or law enforcement means. Effective counter-terrorism requires a combination of social, educational, economic and political tools that target those factors that make the terrorist option appear attractive.
The Strategy also recognizes that human rights are an intrinsic part of the ght against terror, not an acceptable casualty of war. Security and human rights are not irreconcilable ends of a spectrum, but entirely complementary. The prohibition on torture, fair trials, respect for fundamental freedoms these are cherished values of human civilization that must not be compromised. The UN system has come together 31 entities working as a Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force to give practical meaning to the Strategy in all key areas, including police cooperation, institutional capacity, nancing and training. Both the General Assembly and the Security Council have ratcheted up their efforts, with multilateral action of a kind unheard of only ten years ago. And while the spotlight on attacks may fade, survivors live on. All too often in an attacks aftermath, attention is placed mainly on the what, how and why, and not so much on the who. That is why we have given victims a platform, and initiated a dialogue on how best to support their needs. This effort included the rst-ever symposium three years ago that brought many victims together. Their voice is powerful, as can be seen in the riveting documentary, Killing in the Name, which they set in motion and which was nominated for an Academy Award this year. Todays meeting -- the rst with Heads of State and Government as well as ministers -continues the momentum. I am pleased to announce that the United Nations has signed an agreement with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the creation of a United Nations Centre for Counter Terrorism. We are placing a growing emphasis on supporting regional and sub-regional efforts. We welcome the upcoming Global Counter-Terrorism Forum. We must also reinvigorate our efforts to conclude the Comprehensive Convention against Terrorism. Ladies and Gentlemen, Four months ago, I visited UN House in Abuja. I saw the life-saving work being carried out there. The attack on our presence in Nigeria, like previous assaults on the United Nations targeted not only our physical premises but our values and global missions of peace. What I see here today is a recognition that we are all in this ght together. What I see here today is the start of a new era in counter-terrorism cooperation. States recognize that they cannot go it alone. Let us, together, explore how to deepen our engagement. Let us chart a course that reects our determination to defeat terrorism and build a safer, more just and peaceful world for all.
Opening Session
International counter-terrorism cooperation over the last decade and the role of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy
With these words from H.E. Mr. Ban Ki-moon (previous page) the international community commenced discussions at the rst-ever Secretary-Generals High Level Symposium on International Counter-Terrorism Cooperation. The President of the General Assembly, H.E. Mr. Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser, presided over the opening session.
Todays Symposium comes at an opportune time, reminding us that we can only counter and defeat this threat if we work together and act on our collective commitment to implement the Global Strategy. We must take joint initiatives, share information, participate in collective threat assessments and provide much-needed assistance wherever required to enable our nations to stand strong and united. H.E. Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser, President of the 66th Session of the United Nations General Assembly
H.E. Mr. Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser, President of the General Assembly
Marking the tenth anniversary of the horric 9/11 attacks that were perpetrated on a sunny September morning and which prompted concerted international action against the threat of mindless and vicious terrorist violence, leaders and practitioners from around the world assembled at the United Nations headquarters in New York on 19 September 2011 to review their efforts and to renew their resolve to counter the menace. The Symposium opened with the welcome announcement of the establishment of the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Centre (UNCCT) within the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF) Office. The UNCCT, generously nanced by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during its initial years, was created to strengthen the United Nations role in bringing system-wide coordination and coherence to multilateral counter-terrorism activities and increasing support to Member States on the comprehensive and integrated implementation of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy.
The eminent personalities who accompanied the Secretary-General during the opening of the Symposium welcomed the international communitys demonstration of strength and resolve against terrorism. States have collaborated in practical ways and they have many examples of good practices to share with each other. Law enforcement capabilities, aided by technological developments as much as improved institutional coordination, have grown considerably, enabling States to better tackle both terrorism and transnational organized crime. And yet, as Indonesia Foreign Minister, H.E. Dr. Marty Natalegawa, noted, much more needs to be done. The threat of terrorism is still mounting. Terrorists can strike anywhere, anytime. The global nature of this challenge has not changed.
From our experience of the last few years, we can say that no country or region is free from the threats posed by terrorists. It does not necessarily have to be a group of people with some ill motive; a single individual can also commit acts of terrorismwithout the help of any accomplice. H.E. Sheikh Hasina, Prime Minister, Peoples Republic of Bangladesh
The appropriate response, participants emphasized, to this rising challenge is increased cooperation, institutionalized collaboration, frequent sharing of information and best practices and building of capacities and capabilities across all sectors of national and regional setups in order to maximize practical steps and achieve tangible results. And the United Nations is the most suitable mechanism in some ways, the only mechanism for the international coordination, impetus and delivery of assistance on this topic. The four pillars of the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy provide a comprehensive, integrated and preventative policy framework for States to utilize in their national and regional counter-terrorism policy-setting. The Strategys adoption through consensus by the General Assembly adds to its legitimacy and universality. The practical, consistent and complete implementation of the Strategy and all four of its pillars is a responsibility of all Member States.
It is important for each region to develop its own action plan to implement the Global Strategy. United Nations bodies should assist capacity challenges and gaps of each region. H.E. Dr. Marty Natalegawa, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Indonesia
Each pillar of the Strategy is important in its own right. Participants recalled that the Strategy was the rst United Nations resolution that recognized the value of addressing conditions that are conducive to the spread of terrorism. This important recognition has thereafter also been reected in key Security Council resolutions. The United Nations system is particularly wellsuited to integrate issues of political grievances, support for human rights and the rule of law,
Opening Session
economic difficulties, social and political marginalization, inter-cultural dialogue and poverty in the broader peace and security discourse. In the words of H.E. Dr. Eric Holder, AttorneyGeneral of the United States, the United Nations has led the way (on countering terrorism) by developing an international legal and policy framework to foster collaboration and information sharing, to promote the rule of law, to protect civil liberties and ultimately to enhance our capacity to identify and combat terror threats.
The major advancements achieved in combating terrorism by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and many other countries in the world at the national level remains in need of parallel regional and international efforts to dismantle terrorist networks and cells, through the implementation of relevant international legal provisions and international resolutions, which prohibit committing terrorist acts. H.E. Prince Saud Al-Faisal, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Participants welcomed the gradual shift from hard security approaches to soft power over the last several years. They also expressed support for an increased emphasis on dialogue, cultural exchanges, improved education curricula and counter-narratives against the terrorists violent and hate lled rhetoric. The eminent speakers also reiterated their strong support for the Secretary-Generals proactive approach on supporting and highlighting the cause of victims of terrorism, and recalled the Secretary-Generals Symposium organized by the CTITF in 2008 on that important topic, which in the words of H.E. Mrs. Trinidad Jimnez, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Spain, was a notable impulse to put a face and a voice to victims.
H.E. Mrs. Trinidad Jimnez, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Spain
In strengthening this international framework and in winning this ght every country represented here has an essential role to play as a partner; as a convener; and as a direct provider of assistance, intelligence, and expertise to all those who seek to prevent terrorism from occurring and, just as importantly, endeavour to eliminate its causes as well. H.E. Mr. Eric Holder, Attorney-General, United States
Session II
Promoting dialogue, understanding and countering the appeal of terrorism

The Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy marked a major turning point in international counterterrorism efforts, not just in its consensus-based adoption, but in its emphasis on the importance of addressing conditions that are conducive to the spread of terrorism. Preaching of hate, violence and terrorism nds fertile ground more easily in societies where conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism exist. To uproot terrorism more effectively and to make societies more resilient against the terrorists hate-lled message, States must invest in ways that improve their citizens lives and their understanding and openness to people of differing backgrounds. This session was chaired by Ms. Irina Bokova, Director, United Nations Educational, Scientic and Cultural Organization.
Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed. Ms. Irina Bokova, Director, UNESCO, quoting the UNESCO constitution
The Symposium rejected clearly the notion of linking of terrorist crimes with any specic race, culture, or religion. Furthermore, eminent speakers cautioned against describing political conicts in cultural or religious terms, since such portrayal can have the effect of alienating people and help attract individuals and groups to extremist ideologies. Participants underscored the value of education, intercultural dialogue, rule of law and the creation of environments where people nd opportunities, economic security and advancement. The session began with the call for a new culture of peace, and several ministers endorsed that message in their statements. In todays world of increased globalization, heterogeneous societies and rapid communication across H.E. The Rt. Hon. Ms. Theresa May, MP Home Secretary, borders and continents, the need for instilling respect for diversity was United Kingdom ever more relevant. Eminent speakers and other participants invited all States to embrace policies that embedded respect for cultural differences in an overall environment rooted in the rule of law.
The world will not become a safer place until we resolve the main reasons and the conditions that serve as the breeding ground for terrorism: not only poverty, but the entire scope of social-economic, political, demographic, environmental, inter-ethnic and other problems. The phenomenon of terrorism is unique in its ability to adapt to new circumstances and recruit new followers. H.E. Ms. Roza Otunbayeva, President, Kyrgyzstan
H.E. Dr. Erkki Tuomioja, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Finland
Furthermore, participants noted that democratization and greater political participation of all communities neutralizes violent narratives. Political change requires and must come through broad participation, not violence. Members of the international community should, therefore, inculcate dialogue and compromise in their domestic political systems too, not just across cultures and civilizations. As Finlands Minister of Foreign Affairs, H.E. Dr. Erkki Tuomioja, said, in countering the appeal of terrorism, it is crucial to combat the social exclusion of groups and individuals by ensuring that they have equal opportunities to participate in society.
The role of education, particularly through curricular reforms that integrate the virtues of tolerance and understanding in conventional teaching, was emphasized by key panellists. Governments and inuential faith-based non-governmental institutions were encouraged to capitalize on the opportunities in the eld and contribute to upstream prevention efforts. For dialogue to be successful, however, political disputes have to be settled in a way that people feel the dividends of negotiating with their counterparts. Insufficient resources have been dedicated to the pursuit of dialogue and understanding. Participants invited the United Nations system to explore how conict prevention, mediation and peacebuilding efforts can contribute further in international counter-terrorism activities.
Indeed, to combat terrorism effectively, we need to address the issue of extremism. One of the vital tolls to deal with this particular issue is education. H.E. Mr. Mohamed Kamel Amr, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Egypt
Participants also drew attention to the role of the internet and its abuse by terrorists, particularly in spreading hate, preaching violence and incitement to commit terrorist acts. Participants welcomed the international communitys focus on safeguarding the internet from such abuse, and called for the
Session II
development of best practices that minimized hate-lled narratives, without limiting freedom of expression. In the same vein, the role of the mass media was also highlighted as a valuable resource to spread the message of harmony, peace and coexistence to populations.
The xation on narrow approaches to ght terrorism, either through operational measures alone or solely through legal mechanisms, is not helpful. The causes of terrorism are multiple and need a comprehensive response from the international community, (which) has to be long-term and multipronged, involving dialogue among civilizations, economic development, cultural harmony, dispute resolution and political settlements. H.E. Ms. Hina Rabbani Khar, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Pakistan
Session III
Strengthening law enforcement and capacity building efforts

Law enforcement agencies responsible for policing, investigation, interrogation, immigration, border patrols and cargo, maritime and aviation security, among others, play a frontline role in a States counter-terrorism policy and implementation. Such agencies are also instrumental in tackling transnational organized criminal activities, which share key linkages with terrorists and their supporters. During this session, participants called for appropriate training for these agencies, the building of their operational capacities, empowerment of their institutional Mr. Michael Smith, Executive structures and for efficient coordination between them, at the Director of the Counternational, regional and international levels. It was also noted that Terrorism Committee due respect for human rights is an essential component in the execution of all law enforcement responsibilities. Mr. Michael Smith, Executive Director of the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate, chaired the session. Terrorists are apt at uidly moving their planning and training activities to geographical zones where law enforcement capacities and State penetration is the weakest and where weapons can ow easily, training camps can be set up and safe havens established for planning and strategizing. While a comprehensive approach is needed to prevent terrorism in the long run, traditional security-based measures that detect, deter and disrupt terrorist operations still remain a critical component in this ght.
One of the most important and difcult tasks is the formation of national coordination mechanisms that would allow for building interagency cooperation in the battle against terrorism with an eye to the broad objectives of the Strategy. H.E. Mr. Gennadiy Gatilov, Deputy Foreign Minister, Russian Federation
Relevant resolutions of the Security Council, particularly resolutions 1267 (1999), 1373 (2001) and 1540 (2004), call upon States to take specic measures to ensure that terrorists
11
are denied access to nancial resources, safe havens and weapons of mass destruction. The success of these measures is directly related to the extent to which they are enforced through effective State institutions and specialized agencies. Weak legal and operational oversight, shortages of necessary equipment, lack of technical expertise and inconsistent coordination between agencies serve as major impediments to necessary law enforcement capacities. Strong legal regimes provide guidance to strong implementation. Participants underscored the need for all States to sign and ratify all H.E. Mr. Olugbenga Ashiru, Minister for Foreign Affairs, existing United Nations counter-terrorism conventions and related Nigeria instruments, which serve as a useful basis for mutual legal cooperation and assistance in bringing terrorists to justice. Panellists and speakers from the oor directed attention to important regional training facilities that bring together law enforcement officials and trainees from their respective regions and beyond, conduct relevant research, help in spreading technical know-how, inform trainees on recent terrorist typologies and equip them with the expertise and mechanisms that enhance their operational skills in counter-terrorism. Participants noted that such training enterprises should be encouraged in other key regions of the world, where they would facilitate sharing of information and building of awareness, mutual understanding and trust between police and other professionals.
H.E. Mr. Alain Jupp, Minister of Foreign and European Affairs, France
Similarly, regional policy-level counter-terrorism working groups also provide useful platforms for the identication of regional capacity-building requirements and for coordination between donors on counter-terrorism-related assistance. At the international level, annual gatherings of intelligence officials, led by the Russian Federation, have contributed to increased interactions. Inter-agency coordination was another key point raised by many participants, without which the ght against terrorism will remain stove-piped, haphazard and ineffective.
Countering terrorism requires a strong, well-coordinated domestic security and law enforcement infrastructure comprised of agencies that are empowered to detect, prevent and investigate terrorist activities. Above all, these agencies need to have the capacity to deal with such a complex challenge. There are countless examples of States that have the will, but lack the capacity to ght terrorism. They need our support. H.E. Mr. Ahwet Davutolu, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Turkey
The need for greater State-to-State cooperation on capacity-building was stressed by all participants. Under-resourced States require assistance in developing their laws, institutional systems and practical responses that would help them meet their obligations set under the United
12
Session III
H.E. Mr. Franco Frattini, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Italy
Nations counter-terrorism framework. Wide discrepancies remain between expectations and realities, and States were urged to share technical know-how, best practices, equipment, technology-based systems and their counter-terrorism experiences with each other more readily and exibly. Greater interaction in a supportive environment strengthens trust, collaboration and long-term partnerships between countries, which would contribute greatly towards denying terrorists any operational space. The role of the private sector through publicprivate partnerships was also discussed.
It was also noted that in a comprehensive ght against terrorism, capacity-building activities should not be limited to law enforcement alone; assistance should be broad-based and integrated, encompassing all relevant aspects necessary for a holistic counter-terrorism approach, such as on enhancing intercultural dialogue, spreading quality education, improving governance, strengthening the rule of law and protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms. Participants also took note of and welcomed the Global Counter-Terrorism Forum (GCTF), a Member States-led initiative that espouses to support the United Nations efforts in its aim to achieve the full implementation of the Global Strategy.
Successful counter-terrorism ultimately relies on law enforcement by sovereign States within their own borders counter-terrorism efforts will not succeed unless Governments, law enforcement agencies and judiciaries are committed to enforcing the law. Permissive environments in weak or failing States support the proliferation of terrorism. H.E. Hon. Simon Power, Minister of Justice, New Zealand

Session IV
Role of regional organizations in counter-terrorism cooperation

The role (that) international, regional and subregional organizations (can play) in the ght against terrorism must not be underestimated. H.E. Mr. Jos Miguel Insulza, Secretary General, Organization of American States
Terrorism is a transnational threat, affecting countries around the world. But terrorists support networks, sources of funding and recruits, and increasingly their sphere of operations are oftentimes regional, such as in the Sahel region, Horn of Africa and parts of South and Southeast Asia. For a more coordinated and effective ght against terrorism that has greater eld penetration and objective analysis of progress, the role of regional organizations was noted for its increasing importance during this session, which was presided over by Mr. Yuri Fedotov, Executive Director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.
A number of regions around the world have taken this role seriously, and have adopted and incorporated regional counterterrorism conventions and frameworks into their memberships legal and operational systems. Others have gone even further, having established dedicated regional counter-terrorism bodies that conduct peer review exercises on their memberships counter-terrorism activities, provide information and experience sharing platforms, identify gaps and deliver technical assistance through regional and international partnerships. Regional organizations provide unique and critical conduits for international counterterrorism cooperation. Participants heard from notable regional organizations and other transnational collaborative arrangements on the methods they have successfully employed in developing consensus, identifying regional priorities and mobilizing initiatives for practical implementation. Panellists discussed how regional organizations help promote the multilateral counterterrorism agenda. Most regional organizations exist for across-the-board cooperation between

H.E. Mr. Ramtane Lamamra, Commissioner for Peace and Security, African Union
their memberships, and counter-terrorism is but one agenda item. Other regional setups are created for dedicated counterterrorism work, with or without the patronage of existing broader regional organizations. Regional cooperation on countering terrorism, in effect, happens through a variety of methods. Each region determines the specic nature of its institutionalized response to the threat. However, a successful regional response, due to its focused nature, similar ground realities, common threat assessments and concrete follow up opportunities, can be said to contribute more positively and consistently to national counterterrorism efforts than responses taken without regional support.
The OIC has consistently pursued a policy of engagement with the West to remove misgivings between Muslims and the West and extended its hand of cooperation on issues of common concern. This process should continue further. The OIC, the UN and other regional and international organizations could enter into a meaningful partnership on this issue. H.E. Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanolu, Secretary General, Organization of Islamic Cooperation
Besides developing political consensus against terrorism and establishing legal counterterrorism frameworks, regional organizations have the potential to develop and implement practical capacity-building activities on a range of topics. Partnerships between regional organizations help each entity achieve that goal. The involvement of regional organizations, therefore, in capacitybuilding efforts is of great value, particularly in identifying regional and local priorities, assessing potential risks and durability of programmes and facilitating delivery of assistance and its follow up. The Symposium helped in highlighting the important contributions regional organizations can make to international counter-terrorism cooperation and encouraged States to consider promoting regional counter-terrorism initiatives.

Session V
Promoting human rights and the rule of law while countering terrorism
Countering terrorism and protecting human rights are not competing objectives, but in fact complementary efforts encompassing the same basic principle of protecting human life and human dignity. While terrorism is unacceptable in any shape, way or form, human rights violations deserve equal condemnation. Furthermore, when States protect human rights actively and substantively, they not only comply with international legal obligations, but in fact contribute to their counter-terrorism efforts. In a national environment where rule of law is upheld, fundamental rights are secure, opinions and grievances heard Navanethem Pillay, United Nations High Commissioner for and systems are in place to offer remedy and compromise, Human Rights terrorists will struggle to nd followers or sympathizers. Almost all panellists, including those speaking during other sessions, stressed the importance of respecting and protecting human rights in the ght against terrorism. Mrs. Navanethem Pillay, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, presided over the session. Participants felt that while the resolutions of the General Assembly and the Security Council emphasize human rights protection, many States counter-terrorism activities, in practical terms, devote minimal attention to it. Participants called for stronger and more effective oversight mechanisms at the national, regional and international efforts in order to ensure accountability and transparency.
While the Global Strategy does indeed include an important chapter on defending the rule of law and human rights, it is not enough toensure that (this) will be respected when toughening up security on the ground. H.E. Mme Micheline Calmy-Rey, President of the Swiss Confederation
17
Even within the multilateral counter-terrorism architecture and institutions, human rights considerations are often not sufficient, and sometimes non-existent. Participants mentioned that the listing and de-listing procedures for individuals and entities on the Security Council resolution 1267 (1999) consolidated list are improving with the appointment of an ombudsperson, but more progress needs to be made to ensure that rules and principles are adhered to by the highest organs of the United Nations. Participants called upon the United Nations system to capitalize on its universal legitimacy by providing political and strategic leadership on promoting human rights and the rule of law. Numerous Member States stand to benet from training, guidance and other forms of capacity-building so that judges, prosecutors, interrogators and police and intelligence officials are respectful of international human rights.
H.E. Mr. Phandu T. C. Skelemani, Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Botswana
The imperative to support the victims of terrorist acts was also underscored by participants. Recalling the Secretary-Generals 2008 Symposium on Supporting Victims of Terrorism, held in the framework of the Global Strategy, participants noted that by giving victims a face and a voice, the international community can together strengthen the global momentum against terrorism. In this regard, participants noted that States must do their part in embracing the genuine legal duty of protecting and supporting victims, and not misuse their pain for tougher counter-terrorism measures that violates more human rights.
H.E. Mr. Jonas Gahr Stre, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Norway
The dehumanization of victims of terrorism is not conned to the indiscriminate crimes committed by terrorist groups. States too can dehumanize victims by reducing their plight to mere justication for tougher counter-terrorism measures that violate human rights. Mr. Ben Emmersen, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism

Closing Session
The way forward

The Symposium concluded with Mr. Robert Orr, Chairman of the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF), presiding over the session summarizing key ndings from the statements heard. H.E. Ms. Catherine Ashton, European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, outlined six areas of further work, namely (1) building good governance and the rule of law; (2) building comprehensive counter-terrorism strategies; (3) expanding the network of stakeholders in our counter-terrorism discourse; (4) ensuring better national and regional ownership of counterterrorism plans; (5) promoting regional law enforcement and judicial cooperation; and (6) focusing more on prevention of terrorism through education.
Mr. Robert Orr, Chairman of the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF)
Summarizing the discourse, participants underscored the need for an integrated approach for countering terrorism effectively. While advancements in conventional counter-terrorism measures were welcome, the progress achieved over the many decades in protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms cannot be compromised. Similarly, the need to build resilient societies through an increased emphasis on intercultural dialogue and socio-economic improvements was also highlighted. As Argentinas Foreign Minister, H.E. Mr. Hctor Timerman, put it, In the end, this is not about approaching the matter from the perspective of conict of interests, whether national or sectarian, but especially about the clash among the humanity of dialogue and tolerance, versus the humanity of hate and violence.
Efforts should be made to develop comprehensive and integrated national counterterrorism strategies that fully comply with the rule of law, fully respect the dignity and human rights of all, and reach out to and actively involve all parts of society and all communities. H.E. Ambassador H. S. Puri, Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations
19
H.E. Ambassador H. S. Puri, Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations, identied key elements of the way forward. By increasing technical assistance, capacity building and sharing of best practices, strengthening international cooperation between counter-terrorism practitioners and utilizing the fruitful role that regional and sub-regional organizations can play, States can make further progress in the implementation of the Global Strategy and enhance international counter-terrorism efforts. Furthermore, emphasis should also be placed on developing national and regional counterterrorism strategies that are comprehensive and integrated in nature and inclusive of all stakeholders in order to address all aspects of terrorism, including extremism and recruitment.
We need to be able to integrate our internal and external policies into truly comprehensive counterterrorism strategies. Too often, we still keep the two apart. We (also) need to focus more on prevention of terrorism by examining and addressing conditions conducive to its spread, by raising awareness, and by working with media and education programmes. H.E. Ms. Catherine Ashton, European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy
We abhor the idea that violations of human rights be admissible in certain circumstances. It is a valid question to ask ourselves what would imply a bigger setback in countering terrorism: the fact that a terrorist gets away with a criminal act, or when in order to combat it, we choose to descend to the same level of ideological construction. H.E. Mr. Hctor Timerman, Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship, Argentina
Closing the Symposium with a Chairmans summary of conclusions, Mr. Robert Orr stated that the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy has come a long way: he said, we are no longer discussing whether a Strategy is needed, but how to enhance its implementation; we are no longer discussing the parameters of State responsibilities, but how best States can work collectively, in partnership with a multitude of partners, to see who can do what in the most effective manner possible; and we are no longer stressing that human rights need to be protected while countering terrorism, but insisting that protecting human rights is in fact an integral element in our ght against terrorism. The Symposium, Mr. Orr noted, provided the international community with three valuable objectives to work towards. First, cooperation between States, international and regional organizations is indispensable in the ght against terrorism. Second, inter-agency coordination within the United Nations should be healthy, seamless and truly benecial to Member States. And third, the work of United Nations entities on counter-terrorism must increase attention to Pillar

I issues. This is particularly relevant on issues related to deradicalization, inter-culture dialogue and understanding and countering the appeal of terrorism The Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF) is the embodiment of Member States determination to implement the Strategy. Over the years, the CTITF has worked to ensure that United Nations entities, whose mandates contribute to Member States efforts in implementing the Strategy, need to work together, share information and provide policy advice on a number of topics. The Symposium underscores the importance of continuing that work. The Chairmans Summary, which was circulated among all participants during the closing session, is included as Annex I of this report.

The United Nations Secretary-Generals Symposium on International Counter-Terrorism Cooperation, held on 19 September 2011 at United Nations Headquarters in New York, was organized by the Executive Office of the Secretary-General (EOSG) and the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF) Office, with support from CTITF entities. It was attended by over 500 participants, representing all United Nations Member States, international and regional organizations and several members of civil society and international electronic and print media.1 The objective of the Symposium was to advance international cooperation in combating terrorism, as called for under the two review resolutions on the United Nations Global CounterTerrorism Strategy.2 The following are key elements from the proceedings of the Symposium: All Member States, heads of international and regional organizations and representatives of United Nations organs expressed full support for the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and called for its full, integrated and timely implementation. Participants also welcomed the progress made so far in this effort. Participants noted that the Strategy, which was adopted through consensus by all Member States in the General Assembly in 2006, was the appropriate comprehensive, integrated and preventative framework for an effective and collective response to the threat of terrorism. All participants emphasized that the scourge of terrorism should not be associated with any religion, ethnicity or nationality. Participants highlighted the growing need to build a culture of dialogue and understanding at all levels and amongst all groups as a critical method to preventing terrorism and countering its appeal for potential recruits. In this regard, participants discussed the important role being played by a range of institutions in the development of ideas and programmes. The role of the print and electronic media, faith leaders and civil society organizations was also highlighted. Such partners are needed in order to protect the youth, members of majority and minority communities and their leaders and other vulnerable communities from being exploited by terrorists. Participants also noted the efforts made by many States and organizations in promoting deradicalization and counter-radicalization programmes, as well as other ways to counter the appeal of terrorism. The use of mass media for the development and propagation of counternarratives as a response to the fallacious rhetoric of terrorists was also highlighted and encouraged.

Participants underlinedthe important role of law enforcement agencies in combating terrorism in key areas, including in capturing terrorist suspects and investigating their crimes, analyzing their methodologies and typologies and protecting critical infrastructure and vulnerable targets. The linkages between organized criminal activities and terrorism were also highlighted. Some participants paid particular attention to the need for dedicated counter-terrorism units in national counterterrorism frameworks. Participants also discussed the challenges faced in implementing the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy due to capacity constraints, institutional shortfalls and gaps in domestic inter-agency coordination and called for greater technical assistance support in this regard. Capacity-building, including on addressing conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism, was stressed by participants as a pivotal element in advancing the implementation of the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. Practical responses to address law enforcement and criminal justice policy and capacity shortfalls and to counter terrorist propaganda are needed. In this regard, the important roles of CTITF entities, as well as of those with specialized functions, such as in aviation, customs, border protection, small arms trafficking and social and institutional development, were highlighted. Many participants welcome the creation of the United Nations Center on Counter-Terrorism (UNCCT) in the CTITF Office and its role in supporting coordination and coherence of the United Nations counter-terrorism and technical assistance delivery activities. Some participants also highlighted the usefulness of other complementary mechanisms, such as the upcoming Global Counter-Terrorism Forum, in supporting the United Nations objectives on counter-terrorism. Participants noted that the value of the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy rests in its multidimensional and comprehensive approach to combating terrorism, and therefore its implementation needs to happen in an integrated manner. In this regard, the Integrated Assistance on Countering Terrorism initiative of the CTITF was highlighted as a valuable approach to enabling the United Nations system to deliver technical assistance to interested Member States in an integrated and coordinated manner, as well as ensuring that all four pillars of the Strategy are given due attention in Member States capacity-building efforts. In the interest of promoting integrated implementation, participants noted the need to develop national and regional counter-terrorism strategies based on the framework provided by the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. Synergies between the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and regional and national strategies must be encouraged. It was noted that national counter-terrorism strategies allow for systemic and sustained high-level and broad-based engagement on the threat of terrorism. In addition, national strategies also contribute towards prioritizing relevant pillars and elements of Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy in accordance with the specic type of terrorist threat perceived by a country or region. Participants recognized the value that regional and sub-regional institutions and mechanisms bring to the implementation of the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, particularly through cohesive regional approaches that enable more targeted prioritization and faster delivery of assistance. Participants also discussed ways to expand engagements between regional organizations, frameworks and mechanisms and international partners on a number of counter-terrorism issues. Finally, greater contact between regional counter-terrorism capacity-development centers was also encouraged. The use of the Internet by terrorists was also raised by participants as an area of concern, and the discussions encouraged the United Nations system to continue to work in this important area through building on achievements already made.

Participants repeatedly underlined the importance of promoting and protecting human rights and the rule of law in all counter-terrorism activities. Participants said that human rights protection should not be framed as an obstacle to effective counter terrorism. Rather, upholding human rights obligations and the rule of law are essential elements of any sustainable counterterrorism strategy. Participants called for greater international and institutional cooperation to ensure that human rights are not violated in the ght against terrorism. Participants highlighted the Secretary-Generals Symposium on Supporting Victims of Terrorism held in 2008 and welcomed the United Nations overall efforts to ensure that the rights of victims of terrorism are upheld and that victims are supported and given a voice in the struggle against terrorism. The important role of civil society in promoting the implementation of the Global CounterTerrorism Strategy on the ground was discussed, especially given the advantages civil society organizations carry at the local level. Participants also drew attention to the potential of publicprivate partnerships in the development and exchange of best practices, resource distribution and awareness-raising. During the dedicated media round table event, participants highlighted the important role played by the media in global counter-terrorism efforts. Most notably, participants noted that the media provides an effective avenue to give a voice to victims of terrorism a voice that is too often not heard. The media can also support efforts to counter the dangerous narratives of terrorist groups. Participants reaffirmed the important role of the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Forces (CTITF) efforts to promote and coordinate international cooperation and capacitybuilding. With 31 participating United Nations entities and relevant international organizations, the CTITF provides an important platform for inter-agency coordination, integrated policy development and collaboration. It also serves as a forum to develop innovative approaches and feedback mechanisms to support Member States and other relevant partners to implement the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy at the national and regional levels. The new CTITF website was welcomed as an additional means to disseminate information on the activities and outputs of the Task Force. Participants called for continued efforts towards completing on-going negotiations on a comprehensive convention on terrorism at the United Nations. Participants noted the signicant achievements made by the United Nations system, particularly through coordinated and coherent activities undertaken through the CTITF framework. It was stressed that a majority of activities undertaken by the CTITF and its constituent entities on counter-terrorism matters rely on future material support of Member States. The continuing partnerships with an ever-broadening group of contributors to the CTITF activities were encouraged in order to realize initiatives in the future. Participants welcomed the opportunity presented by the United Nations Secretary-Generals Symposium on International Counter-Terrorism Cooperation to further dialogue on a range of methods and topics to increase multilateral action against terrorism. The Secretary-General, for the purposes of preparing his next report on the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy: Activities of the United Nations System in Implementing the Strategy to be published in April 2012, will seek to draw on the discussions held at the Symposium.
