The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, today met with the Chair of the Counter-Terrorism Committee of the Security Council of the United Nations, Ambassador Hardeep Singh Puri, in his office in Washington, DC. Singh Puri took office in January 2011 and was one of the participants at the Eleventh Regular Session of the Inter-American Committee against Terrorism (CICTE).
Secretary General Insulza and Ambassador Puri agreed to strengthen collaboration between their respective institutional bodies dedicated to fight this threat. The head of the OAS expressed “great satisfaction for having achieved an excellent relationship” with the General Secretariat of the United Nations, its Security Council and some of its other arms. He also asserted the importance the Organization assigns to the phenomenon of terrorism: “Though this region has in recent years been able to prevent major acts of terrorism, that doesn’t mean we haven’t lived dramatic attacks in the past, which is why this continues to be a central issue to us,” he said.
The Chair of the Counter-Terrorism Committee confirmed that the Security Council of the United Nations and the OAS have share an “excellent cooperation” and have done “substantive work” they even hope to improve upon. He highlighted that this year the Committee he heads wishes to “reinvigorate its work” and “improve collaboration with the CICTE” on the tenth anniversary of UN Resolution 1373, adopted after the attacks of September 11, 2001, to hinder the movement, organization and financing of activities by terrorist groups.
