Open briefing of the Counter-Terrorism Committee: The protection of “soft” targets through local engagement and public-private partnerships

On 27 June 2019, the United Nations Security Council Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC), will hold an open briefing on “The protection of “soft” targets through local engagement and public-private partnerships.” In its resolution 2396 (2017), the Security Council stresses the need for States to develop, review, or amend national risk and threat assessments to take into account “soft” targets, in order to develop appropriate contingency and emergency-response plans for terrorist attacks. It also calls on States to establish or strengthen national, regional, and international partnerships with public and private stakeholders and to share information and experiences in order to prevent, protect, mitigate, investigate, respond to, and recover from damage from terrorist attacks against “soft” targets.
