On June 22, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution for the eighth round of consideration of the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy.

The resolution reaffirms the strategy and its four pillars, the importance of a balanced and integrated implementation of all pillars, and notes the importance of intensifying efforts to care for and implement these pillars equally.

The resolution calls on member states, the United Nations and international, regional and sub-regional organizations to step up efforts to implement the strategy equitably in all areas.

The four pillars of the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy include measures to address the factors leading to terrorism; preventing terrorism; building the capacity of countries in preventing terrorism and strengthening the role of the United Nations in this field; ensuring respect for human rights and the rule of law, which are fundamental in the fight against terrorism.

The resolution recently adopted by the United Nations emphasizes the importance of ensuring that the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy remains relevant and relevant to new threats and evolving trends in international terrorism.

In addition, the resolution recognizes the fundamental responsibility of member countries in implementing the strategy, and encourages the development and implementation of regional, sub-regional and national plans at the appropriate level to support the implementation of the strategy.

The resolution also calls on non-participating States to consider acceding to existing international conventions and protocols on counter-terrorism, and urges all States to work towards concluding a comprehensive convention on international terrorism.

In particular, the resolution highlights the importance of a sustained, comprehensive approach to addressing the conditions that enable terrorism to spread, as military force, law enforcement measures and intelligence operations alone are not sufficient to defeat terrorism.

In addition, the resolution reaffirms that member states must ensure that any measures used to combat terrorism are consistent with their obligations under international law, in particular human rights , migration and humanitarian law.

According to the resolution, the UN Secretary-General will be responsible for submitting a report on the implementation of the strategy to the UN General Assembly no later than February 2026.

By June 2026, the General Assembly will review the Secretary-General's report, the implementation of the strategy by member states, and consider updating the strategy to reflect changes.
