WHAT IS THE DIRECTORY?
The Directory of Counter-Terrorism Information and Sources of Assistance is a compilation of information on standards, best practice and sources of assistance in the area of counter-terrorism. It is designed to provide Governments with easy access to information related to the implementation of Security Council resolution 1373 - whether they are looking for expertise in a general field, or trying to locate specific technical assistance projects.
WHAT DOES THE DIRECTORY CONTAIN?
The information in the Directory has been submitted by States and organisations wishing to share their expertise in matters relating to resolution 1373 with other States who might benefit from it. The CTC is not responsible for the content (see Terms of Use).
For ease of reference, the information has been organised into the following areas:
| Counter-Terrorism Legislation |
The drafting of wide-ranging and comprehensive legislation covering all aspects of 1373, in particular criminalising terrorist acts, whether committed or planned, criminalising the harbouring of terrorists, membership of or recruitment to terrorist movements; ratification of the relevant conventions and protocols relating to terrorism. |
| Financial Law and Practice |
The drafting of legislation criminalising the financing of terrorism, through legitimate or illegitimate means; the drafting and enforcement of codes of practice in relation to counter-terrorism for banks, financial institutions, financial intermediaries and other bodies such as charitable organisations; the drafting of laws to enable seizure and freezing of assets. |
| Customs Law and Practice |
The drafting of legislation relating to the establishment border controls; the implementation of such legislation, including a rapid and coordinated response to information received on the movement of terrorists; |
| Immigration Law and Practice |
The drafting of legislation relating to immigration; and the enforcement of such legislation, including standards relating to the issuance and use of travel documents and counter-forgery measures, the granting of residency, political asylum and refugee status. |
| Extradition Law and Practice |
The drafting of legislation facilitating bilateral and multilateral co-operation on matters of extradition, and the establishment of procedures for such cooperation; standards relating to the grounds for refusing extradition. |

Any other assistance matter relating to the implementation of 1373, including guidance on the preparation of reports to be submitted to the CTC pursuant to paragraph 6 of resolution 1373. |
The Directory of Counter-Terrorism Information and Sources of Assistance does not include information on active operations. The CTC is not in a position to assist States in catching terrorists, or bringing specific cases to justice. It does not facilitate the sharing of intelligence on terrorist activities.
