A high-level debate in support of counter-terrorism initiatives on the African continent

A high-level debate presided by the President of the Republic of Mozambique, Filipe Jacinto Nyus.
The event aims at leveraging actions by the Security Council to explore and strengthen opportunities for engagements under Chapter VIII of the Charter of the United Nations in support of counter-terrorism initiatives on the African continent.
The high-level debate will provide the Security Council with an opportunity to reflect and improve upon the cooperation framework between the United Nations, the African Union and African subregional organizations, in particular in the context of countering terrorism, taking into account that the lessons learned can be useful and extend to other regions of the world affected by terrorism.
