The information and analytical work is one of the key areas of the CIS ATC's activity.
It is based on the analysis of information on the state and trends of development of terrorism and extremism in the Commonwealth area, received by the Center from the competent authorities of the CIS member-states, CIS bodies and partner international organizations.
The CIS ATC conducts analytical research on topics of organization of anti-terrorist activities, elaborates most common forecast-based scenarios of development of the operational situation and proposes effective ways to address terrorist and extremist challenges and threats.
The results of the Center's activities in this area are reflected in the information and analytical products shared to the partners. The CIS ATC prepares and shares with the CIS states:
