The Counter-Terrorism Committee and its Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate are responsible for monitoring implementation of Security Council resolutions 1373 (2001) and 1624 (2005), and facilitating technical assistance to countries requesting it. On the basis of multiple reports submitted by all 192 Member States and additional sources of information, the Committee is completing preliminary assessments of implementation of resolution 1373 (2001), which calls on all countries to enact measures to prevent terrorist acts, and providing recommendations for improvements.
