UN Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force
The UN Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF) was an instrument designed to roll out the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy.
Since its formation in 2005, the task force brought forth different initiatives that assist in the Counter Terrorism Strategy including the UN Counter Terrorism Handbook. Its working groups have offered workshops and presented reports that are designed to assist important UN actors, member states and stakeholders in the fight against terrorism.
Before the CTITF was formed, the Security Council of the UN legally bound all member states through resolutions relating to the United Nations Charter. The resolutions included;
The United Nations Security Council Resolution 1267, adopted in October 1999 requires the Taliban in Afghanistan to stop providing refuge to terrorist organizations and demand that they cooperate in bringing terrorists to justice. This resolution also imposes aviation actions and financial sanctions on the Taliban. It also established the Security Council Committee.
The United Nations Security Council Resolution 1373, adopted in September 2001 under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter. The aims of this resolution is to hinder terrorist actions. This resolution calls on states to adjust national laws to better combat terrorism and focuses on regulating immigration laws to contain the spread of terrorism. It also place legal obligations on member states requiring them to freeze any financial assets of terrorist and supporters, deny travel means or safe havens for terrorists, and prevent their weapon supply and recruitment.
These resolutions began the formation of branches in the United Nations to combat terrorism.
In 2005, the Secretary- General Kofi Annan created the United Nations Counter Terrorism Implementation Task Force. It was later endorsed by the General Assembly in 2006 through the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, to ensure that all terrorism units in the UN work together to increase the efficiency and range.
On 15 June 2017, the General Assembly established the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT), transferring the CTITF, as well as the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Centre (UNCCT), from the UN Department of Political Affairs to UNOCT.
