Resolution 1373 also called upon UN members to become parties to conventions related to terrorism, created a Committee of the Security Council to monitor implementation of the resolution, and ordered States to report to the Committee on the steps they had taken in this direction. In essence, Resolution 1373 has both unilateral and multilateral dimensions, but this does not mean that the two natures are of the same degree. In fact, the unilateral dimension in Resolution 1373 is present in its preamble only, while the multilateral character is present both in the preamble and, more importantly, in the operative part of the resolution. This is a distinction worth keeping in mind. On October 8, 2001, the President released a press statement on behalf of the members of the Council closely related to Resolutions 1368 and 1373 (2001).

The members of the Council are determined to see the full implementation of these resolutions. The members of the Security Council took note of the letters that the representatives of the United States and of the United Kingdom sent yesterday to the President of the Security Council, in accordance with Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, in which they state that the action was taken in accordance with the inherent right of individual and collective self-defence following the terrorist attacks in the United States of 11 September 2001. One month after the attacks, the members of the Council made a press statement in which they announced the appointment of the members of the Committee that Resolution 1373 had established to monitor its implementation. Another decision by the Council adopted in relation to the 9/11 attacks was Resolution 1377 (2001). The decision contained a declaration by the Council on the global effort against terrorism, recalled, others, the 9/11 resolutions, and declared that international terrorism was a serious threat to peace and security and was contrary to the purposes and principles of the Charter. The resolution affirmed that active participation and collaboration of UN members, in accordance with the Charter, was essential to combat terrorism.
