SESSION 1: Addressing Terrorism in Conflict-Affected and High Risk Contexts The Conference will provide a platform for Member States, United Nations entities, international and regional organizations, civil society organizations, and the private sector to exchange information, experiences, and good practices, as well as to explore further cooperation on key counter-terrorism priorities under the four pillars of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. As one of the first dedicated system-wide follow-up events after the adoption of the Pact for the Future in September 2024, the Conference will provide a timely opportunity for Member States to demonstrate leadership of the counter-terrorism agenda through inclusive, preventive, and coordinated approaches while reinforcing global priorities, including digital cooperation and youth engagement.
