UN Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force: WMD Working Group Report

The United Nations Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF) was established in 2005 by the Secretary-General and works to ensure overall coordination and coherence among at least two dozen entities throughout the UN system involved in counter-terrorism efforts. The CTITF Working Group on Preventing and Responding to Weapons of Mass Destruction Attacks is currently reviewing existing arrangements for these coordination efforts in response to a terrorist attack using nuclear and/or radiological weapons or materials. The Working Group prepared a report that outlines these arrangements and identifies potential gaps. Fiona Simpson, CIC Senior Fellow, was selected to draft the report, which went before the UN General Assembly in September 2010.
