DESCRIPTION:
Violent extremism poses a significant threat to peace, security, human rights, and sustainable development, impacting countries and regions worldwide. While it lacks a clear definition, recent years have seen terrorist groups like ISIL, Al-Qaida, and Boko Haram shape our understanding of violent extremism and the need to address it. These groups propagate messages of intolerance, challenging our shared values of peace, justice, and human dignity through their heinous acts and effective use of social media.
The spread of violent extremism has exacerbated existing humanitarian crises, resulting in the displacement of millions of people. The movement of individuals away from and towards conflict zones has disrupted regions, with some seeking safety while others are drawn into the conflict as foreign terrorist fighters.
While violent extremism cannot be justified, it is crucial to recognize that it does not arise in a vacuum. Narratives of grievances, perceived injustice, and the denial of human rights contribute to its appeal. Addressing the root causes of violent extremism involves promoting good governance, respecting human rights, and addressing grievances to prevent its emergence.
In response to this global challenge, the General Assembly declared February 12 as the International Day for the Prevention of Violent Extremism as and when Conducive to Terrorism. This day aims to raise awareness about the threats associated with violent extremism and enhance international cooperation in countering it. Member States bear the primary responsibility in addressing terrorism, while intergovernmental organizations, civil society, academia, religious leaders, and the media also play crucial roles. The resolution reaffirms that terrorism and violent extremism should not be associated with any religion, nationality, civilization, or ethnic group. The Office of Counter-Terrorism, in collaboration with relevant entities, is tasked with facilitating the observance of the International Day.
