Source– The post is based on the article “United against terror” published in The Hindu on 31th October 2022.
Syllabus: GS3- Security
News- The article explain the main highlights of recently held United Nations Security Council’s Counter-Terrorism Committee meeting in Mumbai.
What are the challenges related to terrorism?
There is lack of global cooperation in fight against terrorism. Lack of international cooperation was evident in bringing justice to victims of the 26/11 Mumbai attack.
Pakistan has not prosecuted the preparators of the attack. The USA has refused to extradite David Headley and Tahawwur Rana. China continues to block designating LeT leaders on the UNSC 1267 terror list.
What was the focus of the summit?
The focus was on online radicalization and terror recruitment, terror financing through crypto-currency, and virtual assets. The issues like unmanned aerial system use including drones for terror strikes, and transporting drugs and arms were also discussed.
The deliberations led to the “Delhi Declaration on countering the use of new and emerging technologies for terrorist purposes”.
