UN 1267 report assesses Al Qaeda, IS resilience and affiliate networks

The UN Monitoring Team's latest 1267 report, discussed by its current and former coordinators, assesses the current state of Al Qaeda, Islamic State, and their affiliates. The report indicates continued resilience and adaptation of jihadist groups despite counterterrorism pressure, with affiliates expanding in Africa and elsewhere. This matters as it informs threat assessments and international counterterrorism priorities.
