The “Islamic State” was defeated in Syria, but the threat of a revival of the group remains, said Special Envoy of the UN Secretary-General for ATS Geir Pedersen.

“The challenges associated with achieving peace are enormous in scope and complexity. ISIS has been defeated “on the ground,” but experience suggests that it can revive, ”Pedersen said during a speech at the UN Security Council.

Earlier in the Pentagon reported that the IG can regain territory in Syria in less than a year.
