At the third high-level meeting of member states' anti-terrorism agencies, held in New York at the UN's headquarters, Guterres gave a speech.
"Every region of the world is impacted by terrorism. It feeds off weaknesses in regional and societal security as well as the instability of the political, economic, and security institutions, according to Guterres.
According to Guterres, criminal activities, including "money laundering, illegal mining, and the smuggling of weapons, drugs, antiquities, and people," finance terrorism. He emphasized that poverty, inequality, and social exclusion are the root causes of terrorism.
The UN Secretary-General claimed that worldwide crises facilitate the development of terrorism and that when this happens, "human rights, refugee law, and the UN Convention are violated, and the perpetrators remain unpunished."
Identify four problems and their fixes.At a symposium on the battle against terrorism, Guterres outlined his four solutions in a list format.In addition to highlighting the significance of emphasizing preventive measures to end the terrorist threat, showing sensitivity to human rights, and allocating adequate resources for this purpose, Guterres also emphasized the importance of strengthening the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy unit, which is at the center of these efforts in the fight against terrorism.
Guterres stated, "I look forward to the unanimous General Assembly approval of the review resolution on the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy this weekend," and he requested that member nations honor their financial commitments to fight terrorism.
I kindly request that all Member States honor their financial commitments so that we have the means to tackle this shared problem.
And this weekend, I'm looking forward to the General Assembly's unanimous acceptance of the resolution on the strategy review.
However, we are experiencing an increasing funding crisis as a result of unpaid assessed payments to our organization.
I kindly request that all Member States honor their financial commitments so that we have the means to tackle this shared problem.
