Acts of terrorism propagating a
wide-range of hateful ideologies continue to injure, harm and kill thousands of
innocent people each year.
Victims of terrorism continue to struggle
to have their voices heard, have their needs supported and their rights upheld.
Victims often feel forgotten and neglected once the immediate aftermath of a
terrorist attack fades, with profound consequences for them. Few Members States
have the resources or the capacity to fulfill the medium and long-term needs
required for victims to fully recover, rehabilitate and integrate back into
society.
🦋
Victims can only recover and cope with their
trauma through long-term multi-dimensional support, including physical,
psychological, social and financial, in order to heal and live with dignity.
The primary responsibility to support
victims of terrorism and uphold their rights rests with Member States.
⭐️
The United Nations has an important role
in supporting Member States to implement the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy through standing in solidarity and providing
support to victims, capacity building assistance, establishing networks of, and
offering support to, civil society organizations, particularly victims of
terrorism associations, and encouraging Member States to promote, protect and
respect the rights of victims.
The
United Nations has been working to provide resources, mobilize the
international community and better address the needs of victims of terrorism.

Good post. Ratification of the DPCW into international law is needed for the cessation of wars and achievement of peace on a global scale.
