Promoting More Effective Regional Cooperation
The adoption of the first-ever global counterterrorism strategy represents a milestone for the international community, however, regions and sub-regions will need to determine how best to implement the Strategy’s generally broad provisions to maximize its impact on the ground. To complement this global framework and the work being done by the UN, implementation strategies need be developed at the regional and sub-regional levels where common approaches to this difficult issue may more easily be found. To that end, the Center on Global Counterterrorism Cooperation is conducting a series of interrelated projects aimed a implementing the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy in different regions around the world.
The Center has completed assessments of the Asia-Pacific, southern Africa, East Africa, South Asia, and the Western Hemisphere. The Center has just launched a North Africa component and intends to conduct a similar assesment of West Africa by the end of this year.
