ICT4Peace through Tech Against Terrorism, a joint project between UN CTED and ICT4Peace Foundation launched on 31 March 2017 at RightsCon in Brussels, and announced at OSCE in Vienna on 5 June 2017 will be collaborating with Facebook, YouTube, Microsoft and Twitter in supporting the knowledge-sharing component of the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism.

As well as supporting Internet Forum events hosted by the tech companies, ICT4Peace will be working to engage with smaller companies through a series of global workshops to assess practical ways we can help build capacity amongst startups and smaller tech companies.

Additionally ICT4Peace will be promoting emerging good practice regarding Terms of Service and we will be supporting the UN with its mandate on counter-narratives relating to Resolution 2354 (2017) and the Letter dated 26 April 2017 from the Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1373 (2001) concerning counter-terrorism addressed to the President of theSecurity Council regarding public-private partnerships.
