UNSC counter terrorism committee CTC and institutional mechanisms have been ineffective in dealing with the menace of terrorism. Reasons for limited success: 1. No definition of terrorism agreed upon by all members. 2. P5 vote due to pooling. P3 P2. 3. Declaration of terrorists has become complicated. 4. United consensus on tackling non-state terrorism is not present.

5. State sponsored terrorism has been proved as protecting national interest. Needs for reform: 1. Uniting for defining terrorism. 2. Strict position on terror groups. 3. Increased penalties. 4. Reduced economic details. 5. Blacklisting by FATF. 6. Strict monitoring protocols. Hence, UNSC reformation needed for collaborating the anti-terror agenda.
