Resolution 1373 (Terrorism)

Resolution 1373, adopted by the United Nations Security Council in 2001, was a response to the global threat of terrorism, particularly after the September 11 attacks. It requires all UN member states to improve their national and international efforts to prevent and combat terrorism. This includes adopting laws to criminalize the financing of terrorism, increasing cooperation among nations in intelligence sharing, and enhancing border security. The resolution emphasizes the need for states to work together to stop terrorists from operating effectively, aiming for a united global stance against the threat of terrorism.
