UAE renews commitment to Strengthen Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy

(New York) – The UAE has renewed its unwavering commitment to the implementation of all four pillars of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and called on the international community to step up efforts to strengthen the goals of the Strategy to eradicate all forms of the scourge.
Permanent Representative of the UAE to the United Nations H.E. Ahmed Abdul Rehman Al-Jarman in a statement before the General Assembly’s meeting for the third biennial review of the 2006 United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy held at the UN headquarters in New York said while the UAE was satisfied with the results achieved thus far in implementing the Strategy at national and regional levels, through the United Nations, it was nevertheless concerned that efforts to put in action all four pillars of the framework remained insufficient”.
He added, “terrorist acts continued and were becoming more sophisticated, which made it essential to strengthen cooperation and coordination to, among others, prevent all forms of terrorist financing, such as piracy, drugs and arms smuggling and arms trafficking. Coordination must be stepped up in other areas, including information sharing and strengthening legal frameworks.
