On Friday, 21 June 2024, the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) and the Permanent Mission of Algeria to the United Nations co-hosted the launch of two Trends Alerts on counter-terrorism and border management in Africa. The event brought together representatives from governments, international organizations, and civil society to highlight challenges Member States in Africa face in managing their borders in the context of counter-terrorism. It also featured actionable recommendations for enhancing border management across the African continent.

From 4-5 June 2024, the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) joined the discussions of the Global Forum on Illicit Financial Flows and Sustainable Development. During the High-Level Panel “Stop the Threat: Current Approaches to Combating Terrorism Financing,” CTED briefed participants on the current priority gaps and good practices in implementing measures to counter the financing of terrorism.

As part of efforts by the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) to encourage stronger accountability and oversight of law enforcement and intelligence activities, CTED facilitated a knowledge-sharing session for 14 officers from the Maldives’ National Integrity Commission (NIC), in collaboration with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).

From 20 to 24 May 2024, the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED), on behalf of the Committee, conducted an assessment visit to the Republic of Kazakhstan in follow-up to the comprehensive visit, which took place in 2016. CTED conducts these visits to assess Member States’ counter-terrorism efforts, including progress made, remaining shortfalls, and priority areas for technical assistance needs, as well as to identify terrorism-related trends and challenges and good practices employed in the implementation of relevant Security Council resolutions.

Acting on behalf of the Security Council Counter-Terrorism Committee, its Executive Directorate (CTED) conducted a visit to Malawi from 22 to 26 April 2024. The assess-ment, which was a first for Malawi, covered all relevant Security Council resolutions, in-cluding 1373 (2001), 2178 (2014), 2396 (2017), and 2617 (2021). 

Despite the efforts of Member States in Africa to strengthen border security, a number of countries continue to face challenges. Indeed, with terrorism and violent extremism spreading across parts of the continent, the UN Security Council has emphasized the need for stronger border security and management. Between 2018 and 2023, CTED conducted assessment visits to 15 African Member States. Based on the visit reports, CTED has now published two new interlinked Trends Alerts, each summarizing key challenges and recommendations related to border management in Africa.

From 18 to 22 March 2024, the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED), conducted on behalf of the Committee its first focused visit to Montenegro. CTED conducts these visits to assess Member States’ counter-terrorism efforts, including progress made, good practices, remaining challenges, and priority areas for technical assistance needs related to the effective implementation of the relevant Security Council resolutions.

The visits remain one of the key channels of the Counter-Terrorism Committee to engage and conduct a constructive dialogue with Member States with a view to achieving effective and comprehensive implementation of the relevant Security Council resolutions on counter-terrorism.
