“We should engage with all who can help us achieve our goals. We must promote an all-of-government, all-of-society and all-of-UN approach to preventing and countering terrorism, involving a broad range of partners at national, regional and global levels. And this must include above all young people. We need them to help counter the manipulative messages of terrorists and reintegrate the radicalized. And we need to empower them through education, jobs and vocational training. We need to uphold the rights of victims and ensure they have a voice. And we must also engage women in counter-terrorism.”

6. SOUNDBITE (English) António Guterres, Secretary-General, United Nations:
“We need to be better at sharing information on the identities of returning and relocating foreign terrorist fighters. Security Council resolution 2396, adopted last December, calls on Member States to notify other countries of the travel, arrival, deportation or detention of individuals they believe to be terrorists. It urges Member States to use Passenger Name Record data and Advance Passenger Information to prevent the transit of terrorists. We must prioritize the implementation of this resolution and ensure that Member States most affected by terrorism have the capacities and resources to do so.”
