SUBJECT: SWISS COUNTER-TERRORISM "PROCESS" CHALLENGES U.S. 
WAR ON TERROR 
 
REF: USUN 1006 (NOV 07) 
 
 1. (U) Summary.  In November 2007, Costa Rica, Japan, 
Slovakia, Switzerland and Turkey launched a series of 
meetings described as the "International Process on Global 
Counter-terrorism Co-operation (Process)" (reftel).  On July 
24, they circulated a final document which states that the 
purpose of the Process was to provide an opportunity for 
frank and open, off-the-record discussion among a broad array 
of states, representatives of the UN and civil society.  An 
Associated Press interview (para 5), however, indicated that 
the conclusions are a response to the U.S.- led war on terror 
and the counter-terrorism work of the powerful UN Security 
Council.  The article quotes the Swiss UN Permanent 
Representative as saying, "It's an attempt maybe to shift, or 
should I say, to rebalance the focus away from the war on 
terror to a more comprehensive way of dealing with 
terrorism."  End summary. 
 
2.  (U) Reftel reported the launch of the Process and plans 
for workshops in Switzerland, Slovakia, Turkey and Japan. 
The sponsors of the Process have now released a "Final 
Document" which they say reflects the key elements of the 
discussions that took place during the workshops.  Curiously, 
both the cover letter and the document contain a form of 
disclaimer making it clear that not all the sponsors endorse 
each of the recommendations.  For example, the report 
mentions, as an option, funding the CT Task Force through the 
UN regular budget, a position that Japan has repeatedly 
publicly opposed, as has the United States. 
 
3.  (U) The Report (emailed to IO) addresses actions that UN 
member states, the UN system, and regional and sub-regional 
bodies should take.  There is a heavy focus on the work of 
the UN Counter-terrorism Committee's Executive Directorate, a 
body mandated by Security Council resolutions.  The report 
recommends that CTED could be "transformed into a UN 
Secretariat office, department, or program which could 
service both the CTC and the Task Force.  (Comment.  Such a 
transformation would presumably remove CTED from control by 
the Security Council and put it under the direction of the 
Secretary General. End Comment). 
 
4.  (SBU) The Process report also calls for including human 
rights expertise on CTED site visits and contains a section 
with a series of recommendations for improving CTED's 
performance.  Comment.  It is somewhat surprising that states 
that usually share U.S. views on counter-terrorism would 
spearhead an effort which would undermine the effectiveness 
of CTED at a time when its recently renewed mandate has it 
poised to become an even more significant CT actor within the 
system.  End Comment. 
 
5.  (U) Begin text.  Panel urges anti-terrorism agency by 
John Heilprin Associated Press Writer 24 July 2008. 
United Nations (AP) 
 
A Swiss led, five-nation panel proposed Thursday that the 
United Nations assert itself as leader of a global fight 
against terrorism and establish a new agency or program to 
coordinate that effort. 
 
U.N. ambassadors from Costa Rica, Japan, Slovakia, 
Switzerland and Turkey suggested that the U.N. General 
Assembly create an agency for counterterrorism along the 
lines of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, the International 
Atomic Energy Agency. 
 
It also recommended that the U.N. assist counterterrorism 
officials from individual nations in promoting "a human 
rights-based approach  to counterterrorism" that disdains 
torture and preserves prisoners' rights. 
 
The panel, launched by the Swiss U.N. mission in November, is 
an attempt to involve more of the General Assembly's 192 
member nations in fighting terrorism.  It also seeks to shift 
some of the emphasis away from military or police work and 
onto grappling with interrelated social, economic and health 
factors. 
 
Its proponents say the panel's conclusions, reached after 
holding five workshops on three continents, is a response to 
the U.S.- led war on terror and the counterterrorism work of 
the powerful U.N. Security Council. 
 
"It's an attempt maybe to shift or, should I say, to 
rebalance the focus away from the war on terror to a more 
 
 
comprehensive way in dealing with terrorism," Swiss 
Ambassador Peter Maurer told The Associated Press. 
 
Another panel member, Costa Rican Ambassador Jorge Urbina, 
also serves on the 15-nation Security Council. 
 
 
"There is a need to deepen interagency cooperation and 
cooperation, both at the national and international level, 
and this should not be limited to traditional 
counterterrorism actors, but also include human rights, 
development, health and social services," he said.  "We 
continue to advocate for the creation of a body that unites 
all current U.N. counterterrorism efforts under one roof, and 
gives it a clear mandate and direction." 
 
In March, President Bush said the global war's main 
challenges included securing Iraq, fighting al-Qaida, 
combating Iran's "destructive influence," and ending "the 
flow of suicide bombers through Syria." 
 
But the panel pointed toward an alternative strategy, an 
approach based on a belief that the U.N. also must provide a 
framework all nations can participate in. 
 
"The problem is that it is a one-dimensional view, suggesting 
that with military deployment and military means you can cope 
with the phenomenon of terrorism,"  Maurer said.  End Text.
