The United Nations Security Council called for a better-coordinated global response to international terrorism and organised crime by working together to identify and eliminate such threats. The council unanimously adopted the Peru-drafted resolution yesterday, which calls for increased cross-border collaboration in efforts to investigate and dismantle the links between terrorist groups and organized crime networks.

The resolution asked states to enhance coordination of efforts at all levels in order to strengthen a global response to linkages between international terrorism and organized crime.

The resolution also called for states to investigate, disrupt and dismantle organized crime networks in accordance with national legislation regarding money laundering, corruption and bribery.
