Prevention And Countering Violent Extremism

Violent extremism is complex, multi-faceted challenge that is not within confined borders. Violent extremist groups movements are less cohesive, and the threat is harder to understand and predict.

We are committed to a consensual acknowledgment of “the important roles that youth, families, women, victims of violent extremism, religious, cultural and education leaders, civil society, as well as the media, play to counter the violent extremist narrative that can incite extremism actions.

We address the conditions conducive to the spread of violent extremism, in particular by fostering mutual respect and understanding, reconciliation and peaceful coexistence among cultures, and by promoting and protecting human rights, fundamental freedoms, democratic principles and the rule of law.
