From Wikipedia:
consortium of nations including emerging economies like India, China, Russia and 11 Muslim dominating countries along with European Union was launched by secretary of United States of America Hillary Clinton on 22nd september 2011, GCTF is a major initiative to build the international architecture for dealing with 21st century terrorism. It will provide a unique platform for senior counterterrorism policymakers and experts from around the world to work together to identify urgent needs, devise solutions and mobilize resources for addressing key counterterrorism challenges.

In a first, the Global Counter-terrorism Forum is meant to create a venue where partners can come together and identify urgent needs in counter-terrorism around the world, devise solutions and mobilise the resources to implement those solutions.

The forum is meant to move past some of the debates that have paralysed multilateral institutions in the past from dealing with counter-terrorism, specifically the endless debate over who is a terrorist, a US State Department official said.

The official said the initiative was built on the failure of earlier such initiatives like the G-8 Counter-terrorism Action Group, which was meant to be a capacity-building organisation, but never realised the vision of its founding.

The forum comprises 27 countries in the EU, 11 Muslim majority nations, China, India, Russia along with regional representation from South America and Africa.

It will have a coordinating committee of Foreign Ministry officials besides five working groups.

Two functional groups would focus on criminal justice, rule of law and countering violent extremism. Three groups would be focused on regions of Sahel, the Horn of Africa and Southeast Asia.

The working groups will be co-chaired by members of the GCTF but will be open to other countries.
