Daesh/ISIS constitutes a menace to worldwide peace and safety, UN Under-Secretary-General for Counter-Terrorism Vladimir Voronkov warned on Thursday.
“Daesh continues to pose a serious threat to international peace and security, notably in conflict zones, despite significant progress achieved by member states in countering the threat,” Voronkov instructed a Security Council assembly on threats to worldwide peace and safety brought on by terrorist acts.
Member states’ efforts to counter the financing of terrorism proceed to yield “tangible results,” Voronkov mentioned, including: “Daesh’s financial reserves are currently estimated between $10 million and $25 million, down from hundreds of millions a few years ago.”
Stressing that the group maintains intention to hold out assaults overseas, he mentioned regardless of essential achievements, “the risk of resurgence by Daesh remains.”
Terrorism is a multi-faceted menace, he mentioned, including countering it requires multilateral and decisive efforts.
“As tensions rise in various parts of the world, let the consensus among member states against terrorism serve to help find common ground, reduce friction and reaffirm our commitment to multilateral solutions for a better tomorrow,” Voronkov added.
