Event: How the UN Can Help Stop Terrorism

Speaker(s): Eric Rosand, Senior Fellow, Center on Global Counter-Terrorism Cooperation

Date: January 24, 2008

Length: 89 minutes

Description: Eric Rosand, a Senior Fellow at the Center on Global Counter-Terrorism Cooperation, discussed the counter-terrorism program implemented by the United Nations Security Council after terrorist attacks of 9/11. He argued that the Council’s efforts have been predominantly unsuccessful due to the absence of a comprehensive strategy, reactive nature the Council’s actions and an overall narrow approach to defining the terrorism. Rosand contended that a new intergovernmental body with a much broader membership outside of the Security Council is needed to help the UN develop a more effective, legitimate, and relevant counter-terrorism program.
