Description

A statement by the President on behalf of the Council (S/PRST/2025/2) was adopted. 

The Security Council today unanimously adopted a presidential statement reaffirming that acts of international terrorism constitute one of the most serious threats to international peace and security in the twenty-first century, calling on all Member States to summon the requisite political will to denounce all acts of terrorism. 

Through the text (to be issued as document S/PRST/2025/2), the Council — recognizing that terrorism will not be defeated by military, security, law-enforcement and intelligence measures alone — underlined the need to address the conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism. 

This includes strengthening efforts for the successful prevention and peaceful resolution of prolonged conflicts and promoting the rule of law, human rights, fundamental freedoms, good governance, tolerance and inclusiveness.
