UNITED NATIONS: The UN Security Council's counter-terrorism directorate has launched an online database to help countries develop their own counter-terrorism programmes.
"The technical assistance matrix provides potential donors with a snapshot of where assistance is still needed by states in implementing Security Council resolution 1373 of 2001 and the relevant provisions of the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy," Assistant Secretary-General Javier Rupirez said.
Resolution 1373 was adopted in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington DC, and calls on countries to adopt a series of counter-terrorism measures in their national legislation.
The Global Strategy was an initiative of the General Assembly that brings together the various counter-terrorism activities of the UN system under a common strategic approach.
The matrix gives potential donors a comprehensive overview on a country-by-country basis, from a regional perspective or by technical assistance subject area.
It also provides information about assistance either currently or previously provided by other international and regional organisations, the UN system and Member States.
"We see the matrix as a valuable tool in helping donors to decide how best to develop their own counter-terrorism programmes," Rupirez added.
As part of its work the UN hopes to help countries in drafting terrorism-related legislation, financial law and practice, training for law enforcement personnel, customs control and enhancing financial regulations.
