A/HRC/30/64 amputations, lashes, displays of mutilated corpses as a purported deterrent, systematic gender-based violence, rape, sexual slavery and the targeting of sexual minorities. Children had been subjected to summary executions, arbitrary detention and torture. The Special Rapporteur underlined that those were all crimes and violations of international humanitarian law which amounted to grave human rights violations. 14. The Deputy Director of the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force Office and the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Centre noted the continuing need to address the ever-changing phenomenon of terrorism in the lead-up to the tenth anniversary of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy in 2016. He reaffirmed the importance of ensuring that responses and effective solutions to terrorism remained grounded within the four pillars of the Strategy, and highlighted that the Strategy considered security and human rights as complementary and mutually reinforcing. 15. The Deputy Director stated that the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force comprised 36 United Nations and affiliated entities. The main functions of the CounterTerrorism Implementation Task Force Office was to coordinate and facilitate United Nations counter-terrorism initiatives and activities and provide support to Member States in preventing and combating terrorism. He noted the key role played by OHCHR within the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force Office to ensure that its programmatic work was based on the international human rights legal framework. The establishment of the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Centre within the Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force Office in 2011, with the support of the Government of Saudi Arabia and other donors, has allowed it to better support capacity-building efforts for Member States under the rubric of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. Both the CounterTerrorism Implementation Task Force Office and the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Centre give high priority to the protection of human rights while combating terrorism and to supporting victims of terrorism, in addition to other strategic priorities. 16. Terrorist groups are tearing apart the social fabric of countries and the four pillars of the United Nations. Human rights abuses and violations are carried out on an unprecedented scale, creating flows of refugees and internally displaced persons not seen since the end of the Second World War. ISIL in particular has committed egregious human rights violations and must be held to account. 17. National, regional and international efforts to respond to terrorism through military or other means had sometimes been disproportionate, resulting in violations of human rights and a lack of protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure, which had effectively provided terrorist groups with fuel for more hatred. Respect for human rights must remain the foundation of counter-terrorism efforts. In that context, the entities of the CounterTerrorism Implementation Task Force would continue to support efforts to strengthen the responses of Member States to terrorist acts to ensure that they are grounded in respect for international human rights law, international humanitarian law and international refugee law, including through capacity-building and training. 18. The Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force Office coordinates 11 Working Groups that deal with various issues, including border security, countering the financing of terrorism, security for critical infrastructure, support for human rights while countering terrorism and victims of terrorism. Those Working Groups have increased the capacity of Member States to counter terrorism through a number of important initiatives. For example, the Working Group on promoting and protecting human rights and the rule of law seeks to build the capacity of law enforcement institutions in Member States through a training curriculum based on human rights-compliant approaches within a counter-terrorism context on issues such as detention, special investigative techniques, use of force and investigative interviewing. The Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force Office has already piloted training in Nigeria, and will soon roll out training sessions in other interested Member 5
