Celebrating 20 Years. International NGO advancing human rights–centered responses to political violence, violent extremism, & injustice worldwide RT≠endorsement
As member states negotiate the 9th review of the Strategy, shifting resources toward an agenda of abuse prevention and human rights protection is critical for right-setting two decades of UN CT, and ensuring alignment with with Pillar IV of the Strategy and the UN Charter.
How do we reckon with two decades of #counterterrorism at the #UnitedNations and the global erosion of #civicspace and #humanrights protections?
Since the adoption of the #UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy in 2006, the UN’s CT budget has skyrocketed by more than 350%.
As we describe in our upcoming report, “Beyond Incremental Reform: Right-Setting Counterterrorism at the United Nations,” cuts and restructuring processes under #UN80 are having a massive impact on the meager human rights personnel and programming across the UN CT Compact.

#counterterrorism measures are playing a substantial role in the worldwide deterioration of #civicspace and #humanrights protections. #civilsociety groups must work together across lines of difference to win the changes we need to protect ourselves and our communities.
The Global Center is in Geneva to participate in the 58th session of the #UN Human Rights Council. We look forward to exchanging insights with our Geneva partners on advancing #humanrights and increasing #civilsociety participation in UN #counterterrorism efforts. Stay tuned!
On #InternationalWomensDay and every day, we celebrate all the women who work tirelessly to protect human rights, further justice, and promote global #peace. The Global Center remains committed to advancing #genderequity at all levels of peace processes. #IWD2025
