Beneath the Surface: Terrorist and Violent Extremist Use of the Dark Web and Cybercrime-As-A-Service for Cyber-Attacks

This report is looking at the evolving landscape of the Dark Web and Cybercrime-as-a-Service, exploring how terrorists and cybercriminals leverage the dark web to procure tools and services for nefarious purposes. It aims to shed light on the intricate relationship between terrorism, violent extremism conducive to terrorism, and cybercrime, providing insights and analysis to inform strategies and capacity-building initiatives to counter the convergence of terrorism and cyber threats in the dark corners of the Internet. It highlights the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in attributing cyber-enabled threats and underscores the need for enhanced investigative capabilities and capacity building in this area.

Final Evaluation of the Project on Training and Capacity Building of Law Enforcement Officials on Human Rights, the Rule of Law, and the Prevention of Terrorism

The summative independent evaluation of the Global Project ‘Training and Capacity Building of Law Enforcement Officials on Human Rights, the Rule of Law, and the Prevention of Terrorism’, was commissioned by UNOCT in February 2022 to assess overall performance and achievements of the project, as a requirement by the funding partner. The project, launched in 2016 by the 缅北禁地Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF) Working Group on Protecting and Promoting Human Rights and the Rule of Law, was implemented by the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Centre (UNCCT) and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) from 2016-2022. The evaluation found that the project produced tangible results, with beneficiaries expressing appreciation and satisfaction with the training materials and experts’ competence in human rights and counter-terrorism. It highlighted areas that required additional focus in follow-up interventions and set out lessons to inform future programming. The evaluation recommended, among others, building on the successes of the project by extending trainings, building sustainable partnerships with training institutions in beneficiary countries, promoting gender equity and mainstreaming throughout the design and implementation process, considering programme design from a needs-based perspective, strengthening the role of project governance mechanisms and monitoring systems, and strengthening coherence, synergies and complementarities internally and externally. The evaluation recommendations have been considered and accepted by the Programme Management Team (PMT), as applicable and relevant, in its management response to the evaluation.
