The UN Security Council called Friday for a better-coordinated "global response" to international terrorism and organised crime by working together to identify and eliminate such threats.

The council unanimously adopted the Peru-drafted resolution, which calls for increased cross-border collaboration in efforts to investigate and dismantle the links between terrorist groups and organized crime networks.

The resolution asks states to "enhance coordination of efforts at all levels in order to strengthen a global response to linkages between international terrorism and organised crime, whether domestic or transnational."
