Strategy and UN counterterrorism and CVE activities. The CTITF should facilitate a series of training workshops and modules that can be used to raise the awareness of UN officials at headquarters and in the field regarding UN counterterrorism and CVE resources and activities and increase their familiarity with them. These might be adapted and distributed to UN staff in less-accessible areas in the form of webinars made available through the UN intranet.
Indicative Resource Guide for UN Member States and Entities Reporting on the
Implementation of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy.
This guide collates existing norms and standards from across the UN system that may be referenced by member states and entities in providing inputs for the Secretary-General’s reports on implementation of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy.
Beyond providing some initial indicators of Strategy implementation, the objective of this guide is to make it easier for states and entities to provide substantive reports, including by leveraging information that has been reported elsewhere.

The Global Center works with governments, international organizations, and civil society to develop and implement comprehensive and sustainable responses to complex international security challenges through collaborative policy research, context-sensitive programming, and capacity development. In collaboration with a global network of expert practitioners and partner organizations, the Global Center fosters stronger multilateral partnerships and convenes key stakeholders to support integrated and inclusive security policies across national, regional, and global levels.
The Global Center focuses on four thematic areas of programming and engagement:
multilateral security policy
countering violent extremism
criminal justice and the rule of law
financial integrity and inclusion
Across these areas, the Global Center prioritizes partnerships with national and regional stakeholders and works to ensure respect for human rights and empower those affected by transnational violence and criminality to inform international action.
