Main Body

UNSC provides a global security agency leadership. Its role increases in context of present geopolitical conflicts and terrorism. Resolutions for Counter-Terrorism: 1261 - Resolution for designating terrorists, Grey and Black list. Yet Limited Effectiveness: 1) Lack of Inclusion of Global South - Marginalization of Latin America, Asia, Africa.

2Vested Interests, eg. China's veto power against designation of Masood Azhar. 3) P5 Veto hinders the potential - lack of consensus among diverse powers. 4) No Standardized Role and Framework for Counter Terrorism. At recent G7 Summit, PM Modi said: 'Will countries understand the threat of Terrorism - only if they face a attack' and 'Will nations remain mute spectators?' This must awaken the UNSC community to take steps for counter-Terrorism.
