Semana contra el Terrorismo 2020

The Second Counter-Terrorism Week at the United Nations was anticipated to take place from 29 June to 3 July 2020 at the UN Headquarters, New York. This 2020 Counter-Terrorism Week was planned to include the Seventh Biennial Review of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, the first ever United Nations Global Congress of Victims of Terrorism, as well as the Second United Nations High-Level Conference of Heads of Counter-Terrorism Agencies of Member States.

Due to the COVID-19 crisis and following the decision of the General Assembly to postpone the review of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy to its 75th session, the entire 2020 Counter-Terrorism Week is postponed.

2020 Virtual Counter-Terrorism Week

The Virtual Counter-Terrorism Week will be held from 6-10 July and convened under the overarching theme of “Strategic and Practical Challenges of Countering Terrorism in a Global Pandemic Environment”.

The event will be launched on Monday 6 July 2020 at 10:00 am (New York time) with an opening two-hour high-level session titled “Post COVID-19 World: Contours and Pivot Points and Benefits of Multilateral Collaboration.”

Thereafter, the Week will include nine additional webinars and interactive discussions of approximately 90 minutes to two hours each, focusing on priorities such as bio and cyber terrorism, high-risk threats and trends, addressing the plight of victims of terrorism, flagship UN counter-terrorism programmes, human rights and counter-terrorism, countering the financing of terrorism, youth-led initiatives to build resilient societies, and civil society and media perspectives to prevent violent extremism, among others.

The event will provide an opportunity to bring Member States, United Nations entities, thought leaders, civil society representatives and other stakeholders together to exchange views, through strategic and expert-level online events, on what the new circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic mean for the counter-terrorism landscape.

2018 Counter-Terrorism Week

The first High-level Conference of Heads of Counter-Terrorism Agencies of Member States (2018 Counter-Terrorism Week) was convened by Secretary-General António Guterres on 28-29 June 2018 in New York, under the theme of “Strengthening international cooperation to combat the evolving threat of terrorism”. More than a thousand participants from 150 Member States, 30 international and regional organisations, 55 civil society organisations and 31 United Nations entities took part.

The first High-level Conference helped to strengthen multilateral counter-terrorism collaboration, break down silos and encourage new partnerships. As follow-up, Secretary-General Guterres pledged to convene a second High-Level Conference in 2020 and that in the meantime the United Nations would partner with Member States to organize a series of regional high-level conferences to sustain the momentum for information exchange, sharing of expertise and resources and enhancing collaboration on key counter-terrorism priorities for Member States.
