History

Historical Context

After the September 11 attacks, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1373 on 28 September 2001, binding all UN member states to criminalize terrorist financing and deny safe haven. The measure built on earlier resolutions—1368 (12 September 2001) and 1269 (1999)—and created a 15-member Counter-Terrorism Committee to monitor compliance, establishing the UN’s first binding global counter-terrorism framework.
