    Regional Organisations in Combating Terrorism

    Uploaded by

    Ritik Agrawal
    Regional and sub-regional organizations play an important role in combating terrorism by leveraging their unique knowledge of local conditions to develop tailored approaches and initiatives. Several such organizations have adopted counter-terrorism treaties to boost cooperation between members. Additionally, trans-governmental groups address discrete terrorism issues and identify best practices. UN bodies also materially contribute to disrupting terror networks through organizations like INTERPOL, which facilitates information sharing between 188 member countries. This discussion aims to provide understanding of the role played by multilateral groups at regional and global levels in countering terrorism.

    Role of Regional Organisations in combating terrorism

    In 2004, Anne-Marie Slaughter described an expanding “new world order,” one in which the
    traditional role of states as unitary actors in the multilateral system is being disaggregated. The
    number, range, and scope of intergovernmental entities and initiatives with a counter-terrorism
    component have grown significantly in recent years. Multilateral counter-terrorism has drawn over
    one hundred international agencies, councils, and offices into the effort. Outside the UN system,
    numerous regional and sub-regional bodies have also entered the counter-terrorism field.
    Multilateral institutions at this level have unique knowledge and expertise of local conditions and
    can build trust and political will, hence enhance information sharing, develop approaches tailored to
    cultural and other contextual issues, and undertake region-specific initiatives that complement and
    augment global efforts.

    Several regional and sub-regional organizations have adopted counter-terrorism treaties to boost
    their members’ capacity to cooperate in the investigation, prosecution, and extradition of terrorist
    suspects. When equipped with proper resources and mandate, they have been effective transmission
    belts between what is adopted at the global level and what the states are trying to implement.

    In addition to the aforementioned entities working at the intergovernmental level, trans-


    governmental cooperation is quite active in addressing discrete issues related to terrorism at a more
    technical operational level. The FATF, for example, has identified best practices to combat money
    laundering and seize terrorist financing; these practices are widely recognised as global standards
    for these areas.

    UN bodies and programs have contributed materially to the disruption of terror networks at an
    operational level. For example, the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) has a
    particularly wide-ranging counter-terrorism program. It collects, stores, analyzes, and exchanges
    information about suspected individuals and groups and coordinates the circulation of alerts and
    warnings on terrorists, dangerous criminals, and weapons to police among its 188 member
    countries.

    Today, a web of counter-terrorism laws, policies, and enforcement approaches have been developed
    and overseen by multiple international institutions, bodies, and networks around the world. These
    efforts focus on everything from promulgating international legal rules to developing global policy
    standards, from drafting model criminal laws to promoting intelligence and information-sharing to
    combat terrorism.

    This discussion organised by Global Youth aims to give in-depth knowledge and understanding of
    the emerging role of regional and sub-regional organizations in combating terrorism. We also aim
    to engage the youth in a discussion that provides critical insights into understanding the existing and
    emerging role of different multilateral organizations in countering terrorism.
