Pakistan: UN Counter-terrorism experts visit Pakistan

In November, a delegation of UN counter-terrorism officials, led by the head of the Counter-Terrorism Executive Directorate (CTED) visited Pakistan to examine the country’s counter-terrorism measures and to evaluate the nature and level of assistance necessary to implement Security Council resolution 1373 (2001). The delegation encouraged Pakistani officials, among other matters, to promote passage of an anti-money laundering bill. The mission to Pakistan is the eighth mission conducted this year, after visits to Tanzania, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Jordan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Mali and India.
