The United Nations Office of Counter
Terrorism in UNOCT provides capacity building, institutional development and
technical assistance to requesting Member States, regional organisations and
civil society on preventing violent extremism
interventions. The UN Counter-Terrorism Centre, of the UN Office of
Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT/UNCCT), consolidated its different projects related to
countering terrorist use of new technologies and launched the Global Counter-Terrorism Programme on Cybersecurity and New
Technologies. The Programme seeks to support Member States, international and
regional organizations and UN entities to raise awareness of the terrorist
cyber-threat and to enhance technical capacities required to prevent, mitigate
and respond against terrorist and violent extremist groups misusing new
technologies like the internet and AI to perform attacks against critical
infrastructure. The programme also intends to enhance capacities of Member
States to counter and investigate terrorist activities by gathering digital
forensic evidence and through the use of new technologies. The Programme
reinforces respect for human rights and gender mainstreaming through
international and regional cooperation, and applying the UN GCTS, its biennial
reviews, and relevant Security Council resolutions.
