September 27, 2004
By David Cortright, Alistair Millar, Linda M. Gerber, George A. Lopez
This report provides an independent assessment of the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee (CTC).
It coincides with the "revitalization" process in the CTC following adoption of Security Council Resolution 1535 (2004)
that led to the creation of the Counter-Terrorism Executive Directorate (CTED). The report's findings
and recommendations reflect the project’s intended goal of ensuring that changes to the CTC support structure
are undertaken in a manner that strengthens the successful elements of the committee's work to date,
while effectively meeting the challenges ahead.
