How has the United Nations (UN) responded to international terrorism? The UN has passed a resolution encouraging nations to work together to fight international terrorism. The UN has provided aid to nations experiencing terrorist attacks, but has not taken an official stance on terrorism. Because the UN fears retaliation from terrorist groups, it has largely ignored the issue of global terrorism. Because terrorist attacks have occurred exclusively in the Middle East and United States, the UN considers terrorism a small scale issue.

If the international response to terrorism is to be effective, it must take many forms. In the United Nations, Member States, meeting in both the Security Council and the General Assembly have called for intensified international action and cooperation. The General Assembly is developing new international legal instruments, in addition to the 12 anti-terrorist treaties already operational. The UN is also a system of organizations, agencies and programmes collectively referred to as the UN system and these bodies have long played a key role in international efforts to defeat the scourge of terrorism.
