Discussing the UN counter terrorism strategy

The UN General Assembly reviews the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy every two years, making it
a living document attuned to Member States’ counter-terrorism priorities.
Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the General Assembly decided in May
2020 (A/DEC/74/556) to postpone the seventh biennial review of the Strategy to its seventy-fifth
session.
The review will thus coincide with the landmark UN75 anniversary of the Organization but also the
fifteenth anniversary of the Strategy, and the twentieth anniversary of the adoption of Security Council
resolution 1373 (2001)PDF, which established the Counter-Terrorism Committee in the wake of the 9/11
terrorist attacks.
All Member States take part in the review of the Strategy as part of the work of the General Assembly.
To assist him in steering this intergovernmental process, the President of the General Assembly has
appointed the Permanent Representatives of Oman and Spain to act as co-facilitators. UNOCT will
support the co-facilitators as substantive secretariat.
The General Assembly will hold a final plenary meeting on 21-22 June 2021 for the review of the
Strategy and consider the adoption of a resolution on this occasion. This will be the first high-level event
of the second counter-terrorism week at the United Nations in New York.
In anticipation of the review, the Secretary-General submitted three complementary reports, requested
by the General Assembly:

A report on options to assess the impact and progress made in the implementation of the
Strategy by the UN system, issued in May 2019 (A/73/866);

 A initial report on the activities of the United Nations system in implementing the United
Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and suggestions for its further
implementation (A/74/677), covering the period July 2018 to December 2019, issued in
February 2020; and
 An update report on the activities of the United Nations system in implementing the United
Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and suggestions for its further
implementation (A/75/729), covering the period January to December 2020, issued in
February 2021.

South Africa: from nuclear armed state to disarmament hero.

Achieving global nuclear disarmament is one of the oldest goals of the

United Nations. It was the subject of the General Assembly’s first
resolution in 1946, which established the Atomic Energy Commission
(dissolved in 1952), with a mandate to make specific proposals for the
control of nuclear energy and the elimination of atomic weapons and
all other major weapons adaptable to mass destruction. The United
Nations has been at the forefront of many major diplomatic efforts to
advance nuclear disarmament since. In 1959, the General Assembly
endorsed the objective of general and complete disarmament. In 1978,
the first Special Session of the General Assembly Devoted to
Disarmament further recognized that nuclear disarmament should be
the priority objective in the field of disarmament. Every United Nations
Secretary-General has actively promoted this goal.
The South African government halted its nuclear weapons program in 1989
and dismantled existing weapons and production equipment.

As one of the most vocal state advocates of nuclear disarmament, South Africa

supports proposals to create a new legally binding framework containing clear
benchmarks and timelines to achieve and maintain a world free of nuclear
weapons. South Africa was a leader in encouraging negotiations on a UN-
proposed nuclear weapons ban treaty at the 71st session of the UN General
Assembly.

Sub-Saharan Africa: Africa Center for Constructive Resolution of Disputes
(ACCORD) for Constructive Resolution of Disputes (ACCORD), which is based
in South Africa but works continent-wide, has as a primary aim “to influence
political developments by bringing conflict resolution, dialogue and institutional
development to the forefront as an alternative to armed violence and protracted
conflict.” It specializes in “conflict management, analysis and prevention and
intervenes in conflicts through mediation, negotiation, training, research and
conflict analysis.” Since 1992, ACCORD has trained over 15,000 people in
conflict management and conflict resolution skills, focusing on the government,
the public service, business, military and police, and civil society.

Sub-Saharan Africa: The Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation is a
South Africa-based research and policy institute engaged in research, education,
policy work, and grass roots advocacy on issues of reconciliation, democracy,
human rights, and violence prevention in southern Africa and across the
continent. Among other things, its criminal justice program is working to promote
criminal justice systems that simultaneously promote respect for the rule of law
while promoting a human rights culture.

Twelve years after re-admittance to the UN, South Africa was honoured to
be endorsed by the African Union (AU) and subsequently elected with an
overwhelming majority to serve as a non-permanent member of the UN
Security Council during the period 2007-2008 and 2011-2012. During its
tenure as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council
(UNSC), South Africa promoted the African Agenda namely peace, security
and development.

South Africa’s concern over Islamic radical groups did not begin on 9/11. It
began during the first Gulf War and escalated in the mid-1990’s with the
People against Gangsterism and Drugs (PAGAD), a small terrorist cell
located in their Western Cape province. Both al-Qaeda’s 1998 United
States embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania and the 9/11 terror
attacks forced the US to reexamine security on the African continent.
America hoped, at a minimum, that most African countries would assist in
this new US-led fight against extremists that threatened not only US
national security, but international security as well. This article assesses
South Africa’s involvement with the US in the fight against Islamic
extremism. It argues, for the most part, that South Africa has cooperated
with the global power and has played a beneficial role in helping to reduce
the presence and activity of Islamic terrorists in their region.
