As part of a Just Security series on the ongoing 7th Review of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, ECNL's Katerina Hadzi-Miceva Evans and ICNL's Nicholas Miller argue that the United Nations counter-terrorism system is hostile to civil society participation, is harming civic space, and needs to change direction.
