Under the United Nations Global Programme on Countering Terrorist Threats against Vulnerable Targets (“Global Vulnerable Targets Programme”), the United Nations Office of Counter Terrorism (UNOCT) and the Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED) organized in-depth consultations with Mauritanian entities in charge of safety and security of critical infrastructure and “soft” targets or public places in Nouakchott from 27 to 29 May 2024. The consultations, led by CTED with UNOCT’s support, took place in partnership with the Government of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania and with the support of the United Nations Resident Coordinator’s Office in Nouakchott.

This event represents the first stage of UNOCT’s technical assistance package for Mauritania in the area of strengthening security and resilience of national critical infrastructure and “soft targets” against terrorist threats and challenges. 

The consultations’ methodology builds on CTED’s and UNOCT’s mandates aimed to identify Mauritania’s needs and priorities in the area of safety and security of vulnerable targets. The three-day substantive discussions on relevant legal, institutional, and operational frameworks brought together 20 officials from 8 national ministries and agencies under the leadership and coordination role by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Mauritania. 

As a result of these discussions, UNOCT and CTED will support the elaboration of Mauritania’s national plan of action (or “roadmap”) on vulnerable targets protection, which will include concrete recommendations to support national ministries, entities, and other relevant stakeholders. The document will identify strengths, needs and priorities for enhancing the country’s national capacity in support of the implementation of UN Security Council resolutions and and following the recommendations of the 2018 Addendum to the Madrid Guiding Principles on Foreign Terrorist Fighters , as well as the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and its Review resolutions. 

These in-depth consultations were held thanks to the generous financial support of the Kingdom of Spain.
