Countering cyber terrorism: public-private partnership is need of the hour (Jayadev Parida, South Asia Monitor)

Undoubtedly, the United Nations (UN) has truly not been engaged completely to serve as a platform for counter terrorism dialogue. Even now the nature of the UN structure and the sovereign will of nation-states are yet to converge practically for a pragmatic solution. Similarly, to counter online extremism and radicalisation, both UN and states should open the negotiating door to the private sector internet industries. The need of the hour is a greater cooperation and converging dialogues among all the stakeholders in international peace and security. Could International community go beyond definitional lines, which are hard to draw or agree broadly on harmful act of terror organisations? The pertinent issues for today are having a clear strategy to contain, to take humanitarian action and to learn from the experience
