Visual Identity of the Global Programme on Countering Terrorist Threats against Vulnerable Targets

The virtual launch of the Global Programme on Countering Terrorist Threats against Vulnerable Targets will feature discussions between senior United Nations officials, representatives from Member States and international organizations representatives, policymakers, and security experts.

The event will include a high level panel on the protection of religious sites, where representatives from governments, international and regional organizations, will share experiences and discuss actionable good practices aimed at developing collaborative approaches to protect religious sites and contribute to the operationalization of the UN Plan of Action to Safeguard Places of Worship.

The Global Programme on Countering Terrorist Threats against Vulnerable Targets is led by the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT), in partnership with the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC), the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) and in consultation with INTERPOL and the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED).

The Programme aims at identifying, gathering and sharing policies that help Member States understand, prevent and counter terrorist threats against vulnerable targets, including urban centres and major tourist venues, religious sites, as well as the threat posed by Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) through the production of a dedicated compendium of good practices and practical guidelines.

The Global Programme will assist beneficiary Member States in the development of national strategy/action plans to protect vulnerable targets and provide operational training and mentoring services to support their counter-terrorism capacity.
