Imprint suvivors’ legacy in our collective memory.

Through its counter terrorism office, the UN strives to help Member States advance victims’ rights and respond to their needs. In his address, Mr. Voronkov, who has met many victims of terrorism around the globe said that “their scars may fade over time but their pain, is lifelong.” 

“Across every continent, they share an overwhelming commonality: they feel deeply that no-one should have to go through what they went through,” he added. 

The social media-based Legacy Project showcases how victims and survivors are creating a positive legacy in the aftermath of attack. It highlights hope, resilience, courage and strength, imprinting suvivors’ legacy in our collective memory.

Mr. Voronkov reflected on the recent 20th anniversary of the Canal Hotel bomb attack in Baghdad, Iraq, on 19 August 2003.

Now commemorated as World Humanitarian Day, 22 people died in that tragic terrorist assault on the UN’s headquarters there. 

“Terrorism has no respect for nationality, faith, gender, age, or location. We must all, in our shared bond as human beings, stand up against it, and work together, with the victims, to build a better future,” said the UNOCT chief.
