Description
Resolution 1624, adopted in 2005 at a summit of world leaders, targets the preaching that leads people to terrorism. Rather than weapons or money, it focuses on words: calls to carry out attacks and praise for those who do. The Council asked states to outlaw such incitement.
Inside, members are urged to keep suspected terrorists from crossing borders and to share information with each other. The text also warns states to respect free speech and refugee law while acting. It stands out among terror resolutions because its subject is propaganda, and how far governments may go to silence it.
