How the UN is set to combat foreign terrorist fighters

 

It’s a pleasure for me to use this mailing list and recommend  an excellent Haaretz op-ed by my dear friend, Dr. David Scharia , the Coordinator of the Legal and Criminal Justice Group in CTED, the UN task force on counterterrorism

David is one of the key figures in the latest USUN initiative to adopt more firm legal steps to fight ISIS, which was announced by president Obama on Wednesday. I believe his op-ed gives a fine view of what can be done to stop volunteers coming from western countries to the Middle East to help Jihadist organizations, and afterwards go back to their homeland, being far more radical, trained and motivated.
