Threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts - Security Council (24 August)

Описание к видео Threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts - Security Council (24 August)

Every six months the UN Secretary-General is requested by the Security Council to provide strategic-level reports that reflect the gravity of the threat posed to international peace and security by Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as Da’esh) and associated individuals and groups.

In his report presented to the Security Council the Secretary-General analyses the range of United Nations efforts in support of Member States in countering the threat. 

Against the background of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the report highlights a surge in ISIL activity in Iraq and the Syrian Arab Republic and among some of its regional affiliates. ISIL has not been able to reconstitute its external operations capability, and the measures of Member States aimed at reducing the spread of the virus appear to have temporarily reduced the risk of terrorist attacks in many States outside conflict zones.

However, the pandemic’s impact on ISIL propaganda, recruitment and fundraising activities remains unclear. Socioeconomic fallout from the crisis could exacerbate conditions conducive to terrorism and increase the medium- to long-term threat, within and outside conflict zones.
