Members of the United Nations Security Council held, this Friday, a moment of silence in memory of the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The tribute took place at the beginning of the meeting that marked the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
The September 11, 2001 attacks killed approximately three thousand people. This was one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in history, having provoked a profound impact on international policy and leading to wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The moment of silence ceremony at the UN Security Council served as a moment of reflection on the consequences of these attacks, which significantly altered the global security landscape in the following decades.
