Overview

The United Nations Counter-Terrorism Centre (UNCCT) was established in September 2011 to promote international counter-terrorism cooperation and support Member States in the implementation of the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. It has five main functions:

Provide leadership on the General Assembly counter-terrorism mandates entrusted to the Secretary-General from across the United Nations system.
Enhance coordination and coherence across the Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact entities to ensure the balanced implementation of the four pillars of the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy.
Strengthen the delivery of United Nations counter-terrorism capacity-building assistance to Member States.
Improve visibility, advocacy and resource mobilization for United Nations counter-terrorism efforts.
Ensure that due priority is given to counter- terrorism across the United Nations system and that the important work on preventing violent extremism is firmly rooted in the Strategy.
