Various resolution and initiative by UNSC for counter terrorism: 1) UNSC Counter terrorism committee: which focus on counter-terrorism plan 2) UNSC Taliban Sanction committee: which sanction account for terror-financing 3) UNSC Terrorist Identification committee: which designate UN-Terrors committee 4) UNSC Resolution 1257: Focus on sanctuary terror 5) Best still UN resolution on war against terror

Reasons for limited success: 1) Misuse of Veto by P5 countries on their national interest eg China blocking JeM leader terror designation 2) Global North centric bias on terror counting with less focus on Africa 3) Lack of implementation of sanctions in efficient manner eg China dealing with Taliban despite sanctions 4) Limited involvement of non-UNSC member in countering terror 5) Less fund allocated for terror funding 6) Lack coordination with UNOPC & UNODC 7) Breve support by P5 countries to terror group eg 01-mujahideen 8) Lack of consensus on terror group definition eg: Terror for USA, Russia, China rest Thus, definition of terrorism as per Indian NSPRS crucial for terror-pre risk
