Dear colleagues, partners,
As many of you know, in 2026, the General Assembly of the United Nations will undertake the ninth review of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. The review will mark the 20th anniversary of the adoption of the Strategy as a pivotal framework for international cooperation to prevent and counter terrorism and violent extremism conducive to terrorism.
Ahead of the ninth review, the Secretary-General will submit a report to the General Assembly by February 2026 on progress made in the implementation of the Strategy. The report, "Activities of the United Nations system in implementing the Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy" plays an important role in informing deliberations by Member States on the Strategy’s review.
To prepare the report, the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) invites interested stakeholders, including civil society, media organizations, think tanks and research institutions, and the private sector, as well as international and other organizations with no standing invitation to participate as observers in the sessions and the work of the General Assembly, to share their views.
We are seeking your inputs and contributions, through this questionnaire by 15 October 2025 (submissions before the deadline are encouraged).
In order to ensure a broad and diverse representation, we’d be grateful if you could kindly share the below links with your networks far and wide:
