On 14 April, the United Nations Regional Centre for Preventive Diplomacy for Central Asia (UNRCCA) in partnership with the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism (UNOCT) and the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) organized first regional consultations on cybersecurity and new technologies.
These consultations convened as a part of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Programme on Cybersecurity and New Technologies and its project called CT TECH.
Main objective of above mentioned project is to strengthen law enforcement capacities of the United Nations Member States to counter the use of new and emerging technologies for terrorist purposes and to support practicing technology tools to counter violent extremism and terrorism.
The consultations also build up a common ground in prompting the UNRCCA and UNOCT project “Towards a comprehensive implementation of the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Strategy in Central Asia” and the EU-UN initiative STRIVE Asia.
