UN official briefs Security Council on Secretary‑General's 23rd report on Daesh threat
Summary
An Agency official delivered a Security Council briefing on the Secretary‑General's 23rd report, warning Daesh remains a resilient, transnational threat and urging coordinated international action grounded in human rights and the rule of law.
An Agency official delivered a briefing to the Security Council on the Secretary‑General's 23rd report on the threat posed by Daesh, saying the group remains a serious risk to international peace and security despite pressure on its senior leadership.
The official said the group’s structure is increasingly dispersed but that affiliates remain united by ideology and continue to exploit fragile security environments. “Madam president, despite international efforts, Daesh continues to pose a serious threat to international peace and security,” the official said. The speaker framed the briefing as an update on evolving regional trends and the UN’s technical assistance to member states.
The statement emphasized that combating Daesh requires practical, multilateral measures—information sharing, strengthened border management, criminal justice cooperation and financial investigations—rather than unilateral approaches. The official also noted the Secretary‑General’s recommendations and the UN’s role in coordinating support through system‑wide mechanisms.
