                Resolution 1963 (2010)
                Adopted by the Security Council at its 6459th meeting, on
                20 December 2010

                     The Security Council,
                       Reaffirming that terrorism in all forms and manifestations constitutes one of
                the most serious threats to international peace and security and that any acts of
                terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable regardless of their motivations, whenever
                and by whomsoever committed and remaining determined to contribute further to
                enhancing the effectiveness of the overall effort to fight this scourge on a global
                level,
                      Reaffirming also that terrorism cannot and should not be associated with any
                religion, nationality, civilization or group,
                      Noting with concern that terrorism continues to pose a serious threat to
                international peace and security, the enjoyment of human rights, the social and
                economic development of all Member States, and undermines global stability and
                prosperity, that this threat has become more diffuse, with an increase, in various
                regions of the world, of terrorist acts including those motivated by intolerance or
                extremism, expressing its determination to combat this threat, and stressing the need
                to ensure that counter-terrorism remains a priority on the international agenda,
                      Recognizing that terrorism will not be defeated by military force, law
                enforcement measures, and intelligence operations alone, and underlining the need
                to address the conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism, as outlined in Pillar I
                of the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy (A/RES/60/288) including, but not
                limited to, the need to strengthen efforts for the successful prevention and peaceful
                resolution of prolonged conflict, and the need to promote the rule of law, the
                protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms, good governance, tolerance,
                inclusiveness to offer a viable alternative to those who could be susceptible to
                terrorist recruitment and to radicalization leading to violence,
                      Expressing concern at the increase in incidents of kidnapping and hostagetaking committed by terrorist groups, in some areas of the world with a specific
                political context, with the aim of raising funds or gaining political concessions,

               means, directly or indirectly, of funds by their nationals or in their territories with

               financial assets or economic resources or financial or other related services
               available, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of persons who commit or attempt to

               terrorism in order to find, deny safe haven and bring to justice, on the basis of the
               principle of extradite or prosecute, any person who supports, facilitates, participates
               or attempts to participate in the financing, planning, preparation or commission of

               broaden understanding among civilizations in an effort to prevent the indiscriminate
               targeting of different religions and cultures, can help counter the forces that fuel
               polarization and extremism, and will contribute to strengthening the international
               fight against terrorism, and, in this respect, appreciating the positive role of the
               Alliance of Civilizations and other similar initiatives,
