United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee (UN-CTC)

The United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee is a Council set up to tackle the global challenge of terrorism, focusing on prevention, cooperation, and security while upholding human rights. It addresses issues like online radicalization, terrorism financing, and intelligence-sharing, aiming to balance security with personal freedoms. Together, nations craft strategies to create a safer world while respecting basic rights, fostering resilience against evolving threats. UNCTC at AMIMUN '25 will address the challenge of achieving a unified global definition of terrorism and advancing a comprehensive international treaty. Delegates will delve into the complexities of reaching a global consensus, examining international frameworks and proposing unified strategies to combat this evolving threat. This is a call for collective action to secure a peaceful and resilient world.
