The United Nations is committed to a world free from terrorism. On this International Day of Remembrance of and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism, and on all days, let us stand in solidarity with all victims and survivors so we may support them in healing their trauma and bring them hope”. António Guterres

In its resolution 72/165 (2017), the General Assembly, laid out the International Day of Remembrance of and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism to be celebrated every year on 21 August, to respect and support the people in question and overcomers of psychological warfare and to advance and safeguard the full happiness regarding their basic liberties and key opportunities

In April 2020, ordered by GA goal 73/305, the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres distributed his report on the 'Progress of the UN framework to help Member States in helping survivors of psychological oppression' (A/74/790), which requires the 'improvement of worldwide collaboration to help casualties of psychological warfare'.

The last four result goals of the survey of Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy (A/RES/66/282, A/RES/68/276, A/RES/72/284 and A/RES/75/291) play underlined the significant part of survivors of psychological warfare in countering psychological oppression, advancing worldwide fortitude, forestalling vicious radicalism, perceiving and maintaining their basic liberties, and supporting their unmistakable requirements.

Since the 6th survey of the Strategy (2018), improvements at the worldwide, territorial, and public levels have progressively shown that help to casualties has moved past emblematic fortitude towards a more vigorous commitment to propel their privileges and needs. This is reflected in the foundation in 2019 of a Group of Friends of Victims of Terrorism, co-led by the Permanent Representatives of Iraq and Spain to the United Nations, and General Assembly goal A/RES/73/305 on the improvement of worldwide participation to help casualties of psychological warfare.

The seventh survey goal, took on 30 June 2021 (A/RES/75/291) noticed the significance of maintaining the freedoms and supporting the requirements of survivors of psychological warfare, specifically of ladies, youngsters and those impacted by sexual and orientation based brutality committed by fear mongers. It urges all Member States to foster public complete help plans for survivors of illegal intimidation and their families to address the quick , short-and long haul needs of casualties of psychological oppression.

The goal further invites the principal Global Congress of Victims of Terrorism, which will be held in September 2022 at UNHQ, and energizes the UN Office of Counter-Terrorism, through the Global Victims of Terrorism Support Program and the United Nations Victims of Terrorism Support Portal, to keep on bringing issues to light on casualties of psychological oppression and the advancement and assurance of their privileges. This incorporates further fortifying the limit of, and giving specialized help to, Member States to help survivors of psychological oppression and reinforce their commitment with important common society and confidential area associations, which can assume a significant part in helping and supporting casualties of terrorism.Acts of psychological warfare spreading a large number of contemptuous belief systems keep on harming, mischief and eliminate great many honest individuals every year.

Notwithstanding global judgment of psychological oppression, casualties frequently battle to have their voices heard, their requirements upheld and their privileges maintained. Casualties frequently feel neglected and ignored once the prompt fallout of a psychological oppressor assault blurs, with significant ramifications for them. Scarcely any Member States have the assets or the ability to satisfy the medium and long haul needs of casualties to empower them to completely recuperate, restore and once again coordinate into society. Most casualties can recuperate and adapt to their injury through long haul multi-faceted help, including physical, mental, social and monetary.

Part States have the essential obligation to help casualties of illegal intimidation and maintain their privileges. The United Nations plays a significant part in supporting Member States to execute the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy by remaining in fortitude and offering help to casualties of psychological warfare, offering limit building help; laying out organizations, and offering backing to common society associations, especially casualties' affiliations, and empowering Member States to advance, safeguard and regard the freedoms of survivors of psychological oppression.
