While cultural heritage smuggling is not new, the rise of Da’esh & Al Qaeda affiliates in the 21st century has raised the alarm on looting of cultural property for terrorism financing.
@UN_CTED & @UNICRI brought together global experts to foster collaboration in tackling this.
Very practical and fruitful discussion between Council members, legal experts, practitioners and CSO representatives on ways to strengthen our fight against impunity for sexual and gender-based violence committed by terrorists.
Join CTED & partners as we launch the new Analytical Brief, "Establishing effective public-private partnerships on countering the financing of #terrorism".

Grateful I could present @UN_CTED new publication & share key findings and trends.
Based on data collected from 2017 to 2023, ~15% of recommendations made by #UN CTC to States following assessment visits relate to human rights.
At launch event of @UN_CTED’s Human Right Trends Tracker, CTED recalls UDHR articles relevant to the @UN Security Council Counter-Terrorism Committee’s assessments — and highlights key findings. #UDHR75
Our new @UN_CTED publication on #counterterrorism & #humanrights for #UDHR75 compiles all human rights recommendations made by CTC to States following assessment visits conducted between 2017-2023.
While CTC reports are confidential, you can get an overview of trends there 👇🏽
@UN_CTED is proud to present our Human Rights Trends Tracker, highlighting human rights-related recommendations by the @UN Security Council Counter-Terrorism Committee relevant to articles of Universal Declaration of Human Rights -- coinciding w/ #UDHR75: https://t.co/nwqtymHHqY
