Her Majesty’s Government (HMG) will be taking a leading role in negotiating the UN review of its Global Counter Terrorism Strategy.

The review is currently scheduled to take place in June and July 2020 but may be delayed due to COVID-19. When it does occur we will work through the UK Mission to the United Nations in New York to achieve international consensus on the UN’s approach to Counter Terrorism. The Home Office will work together with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to coordinate input to the review from across HMG, to ensure that all departmental interests are reflected in the UK’s position.
