A/RES/60/1
Nations system to assist States in combating terrorism and to enhance the
coordination of United Nations activities in this regard.
89. We stress the importance of assisting victims of terrorism and of providing
them and their families with support to cope with their loss and their grief.
90. We encourage the Security Council to consider ways to strengthen its
monitoring and enforcement role in counter-terrorism, including by consolidating
State reporting requirements, taking into account and respecting the different
mandates of its counter-terrorism subsidiary bodies. We are committed to
cooperating fully with the three competent subsidiary bodies in the fulfilment of
their tasks, recognizing that many States continue to require assistance in
implementing relevant Security Council resolutions.
91. We support efforts for the early entry into force of the International
Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism 31 and strongly
encourage States to consider becoming parties to it expeditiously and acceding
without delay to the twelve other international conventions and protocols against
terrorism and implementing them.
Peacekeeping
92. Recognizing that United Nations peacekeeping plays a vital role in helping
parties to conflict end hostilities and commending the contribution of United
Nations peacekeepers in that regard, noting improvements made in recent years in
United Nations peacekeeping, including the deployment of integrated missions in
complex situations, and stressing the need to mount operations with adequate
capacity to counter hostilities and fulfil effectively their mandates, we urge further
development of proposals for enhanced rapidly deployable capacities to reinforce
peacekeeping operations in crises. We endorse the creation of an initial operating
capability for a standing police capacity to provide coherent, effective and
responsive start-up capability for the policing component of the United Nations
peacekeeping missions and to assist existing missions through the provision of
advice and expertise.
93. Recognizing the important contribution to peace and security by regional
organizations as provided for under Chapter VIII of the Charter and the importance
of forging predictable partnerships and arrangements between the United Nations
and regional organizations, and noting in particular, given the special needs of
Africa, the importance of a strong African Union:
(a) We support the efforts of the European Union and other regional entities
to develop capacities such as for rapid deployment, standby and bridging
arrangements;
(b) We support the development and implementation of a ten-year plan for
capacity-building with the African Union.
