Oman Participates in Seminar on Challenges Posed by Non-State
Armed Groups

New York, 22 Sep 2026 (ONA) — The Sultanate of Oman,
represented by its Permanent Delegation to the United Nations in New York,
participated in a seminar entitled “Challenges Associated with Non-State
Armed Groups,” organized in New York by the GCC Secretariat General on the
sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, with the
participation of a number of officials and representatives of the GCC states
and the United Nations.

The seminar examined the challenges posed by non-state armed
groups and their implications for the sovereignty, security, and stability of
states, as well as ways to strengthen the role of state institutions, entrench
the rule of law, and develop mechanisms for cooperation and coordination at
both the regional and international levels, thereby contributing to addressing
these challenges and mitigating their repercussions.

The discussions also addressed the importance of integrating
international efforts and enhancing multilateral action to tackle the root
causes of instability, and of supporting solutions that contribute to
safeguarding the sovereignty of states and reinforcing regional and
international security and stability.
