BAN WELCOMES $100 MILLION SAUDI CONTRIBUTION FOR UN COUNTER-TERRORISM EFFORTS
New York, Aug 8 2013 1:00PM
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has expressed his sincere gratitude to
King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia for his
announcement of a $100 million contribution for United Nations
counter-terrorism efforts.

"The Secretary-General expresses his appreciation for the significant
contribution the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is making under the wise
leadership of the King to strengthen international peace and security,
especially in the global fight against terrorism," said a
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=7005">statement issued
on Wednesday by Mr. Ban's spokesperson.
This latest contribution will "greatly strengthen" the world body's
capacity to assist Member States through the UN Counter-Terrorism
Centre (UNCCT) and other relevant UN bodies in implementing the UN
Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, the statement added.

Adopted by the General Assembly in September 2006, the Strategy is
based on four pillars: tackling the conditions conducive to the spread
of terrorism; preventing and combating terrorism; building States'
capacity to prevent and combat terrorism and to strengthen the role of
the UN system in that regard; and ensuring respect for human rights
for all and the rule of law as the fundamental basis for the fight
against terrorism.

The UNCCT, based at UN Headquarters in New York, was launched in 2011
with the help of a voluntary contribution from the Saudi Government.
Operating under the UN Secretary-General and the umbrella of the
Department of Political Affairs, the Centre contributes to the
implementation of the Strategy and engages with over 30 entities with
expertise on a wide range of counter-terrorism related subjects.

In yesterday's statement, Mr. Ban reaffirmed his commitment to
continue to work with all Member States through relevant UN
counter-terrorism bodies to strengthen the international community's
efforts to combat the global scourge of terrorism.
