MINISTER OF THE STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS (SMT. PRENEET KAUR)
(a) to (c) The United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC) monitors the implementation of
Security Council resolutions 1373 (2001) regarding measures to be taken by UN member states to
enhance their legal and institutional ability to counter terrorist activities, and 1624 (2005)
which prohibits incitement to commit acts of terrorism. Guided by these resolutions, the CTC
works to bolster the ability of UN member states to prevent terrorist acts, both within their
borders and across regions. In its role as Chairman of the UN CTC since January 2011, it has
been India`s endeavour to increase international cooperation in the fight against terrorism
by UN member-states uniformly and without exception. It is encouraging that the Committee is
actively working towards achieving its goals in pursuance of its mandate.
(d) to (f) The CTC has prepared preliminary assessments of the implementation of legal and
institutional counter-terrorism measures recommended under resolution 1373 (2001) in respect
of all UN member States, including Pakistan. Such assessments are internal documents of the
UN and are not shared with member states other than the concerned one.
