“The Sanctions Era: Themes and Trends in UN Security Council Sanctions Since 1990” by David Cortright, George A. Lopez, and Linda Gerber-Stellingwerf in The United Nations Security Council and War, edited by Vaughan Lowe, Adam Roberts, Jennifer Welsh, and Dominik Zaum (Oxford University Press, 2008) pp. 205-225.
The report focuses on the challenges of and priorities for implementing the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy in southern Africa. It considers how the Strategy can be used as a guide for governments in and outside the subregion, the United Nations, and other multilateral bodies and civil society to contribute more effectively to addressing the terrorist threat and as a basis for improving the overall coordination and cooperation in the subregion in combating terrorism.
This report was the culmination of the “Security Council Counterterrorism Review Project” and highlights the successes and shortcomings of the post–September 2001 Security Council counterterrorism program and the steps that can be taken to improve it, in particular the work of the Counter-Terrorism Committee and the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate.
This book argues that defeating the global terrorist threat requires engaging international financial, diplomatic, intelligence, and defense communities and law enforcement organizations in an atmosphere of cooperation. It examines cooperative diplomatic and economic policies to address the changing face of terrorism and the global al-Qaida threat, differentiates between protective measures and long-term preventive policies, and makes recommendations for effective cooperative nonmilitary strategies.
