United Nations, Feb 9 (PTI) A report of Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on the threat posed by ISIL to international peace and security has taken note of the “Delhi Declaration” adopted at a special meeting of the UN Counter-Terrorism Committee in India last year on combating the use of new and emerging technologies for terrorist purposes.

The ‘16th report of the Secretary-General on the threat posed by ISIL (Da’esh) to international peace and security and the range of United Nations efforts in support of Member States in countering the threat’ also took note of the Presidential Statement, adopted under India’s Presidency of the Security Council in December 2022, that had welcomed the adoption of the Delhi Declaration.

The Security Council will on Thursday hold a meeting on ‘Threats to international peace and security caused by terrorist acts’ during which Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism Vladimir Voronkov will present the report.
