The issue of terrorist recruitment remains a serious global problem, as many terrorist groups use social media and online platforms to attract new members. These groups often target vulnerable people especially youth who face poverty and or lack education. Terrorist recruitments can destabilize entire regions and significantly increase violence, making it important for it to be addressed internationally. Reducing recruitment is key to weakening terrorist groups and preventing future attacks.
Argentina has a long history of supporting global attempts to counter terrorism and has worked within the United Nations to strengthen international security. Argentina is a member of the UN Global Counter terrorism Strategy and supports measures helping to stop people from becoming influenced by terrorist ideas. Nationally, Argentina has passed many lows to improve border security, monitor online terrorist activity, and fight money laundering. Argentina is also involved in the Organization of American States (OAS) to improve intelligence sharing. We continue to focus on programs that help education safety, and prevent radical terrorist online content.
Moving forward, Argentina believes that the most effective way to reduce terrorist recruitment is to address the root causes that make people vulnerable to join these groups. Argentina supports United Nations programs to expand education and provide job opportunities. We also encourage international cooperation to remove radical content online. Argentina believed that the United Nations has a strong role in supporting this cause, which this national sovereignty needs to remain respected. Argentina plans to work with countries such as Brazil, Mexico, Germany, and South Africa, which share very similar views on the topic. Together we can help reduce the influence and capabilities of terrorist groups by cutting off their ability to recruit members,
