Acts of terrorism propagating
a wide-range of hateful ideologies continue to injure, harm and kill thousands
of innocent people each year.
Despite
international condemnation of terrorism, victims and survivors of terrorism
often struggle to have their voices heard, 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
Member States have the resources or the capacity to fulfil the medium and long-term
needs of victims of terrorism to enable them to fully recover, rehabilitate and
re-integrate into society. Most victims can only recover and cope with their
trauma through long-term multi-dimensional support, including physical,
psychological, social and financial.
✓
Member States have the primary responsibility to support victims of
terrorism and uphold their rights. The United Nations has an important role in
supporting Member States to implement the UN Global
Counter-Terrorism Strategy by standing in solidarity and providing
support to victims of terrorism; offering capacity building assistance;
establishing networks; and offering support to civil society organizations,
particularly victims' associations; and encouraging Member States to promote,
protect and respect the rights of victims of terrorism.

The
United Nations provides technical assistance and capacity-building to Member
States and victims' associations in better addressing the needs of victims of
terrorism.
