A road-map for preventing the radicalisation of children

The Assembly has spelled out a series of measures to prevent the radicalisation of children by fighting the root causes.

Adopting a resolution based on a report by Sevinj Fataliyeva (Azerbaijan, EC), the parliamentarians said prevention was key to stopping young people being drawn to violent extremism, and should begin “at an early age when values and beliefs are formed”.

“Prevention, de-radicalisation and rehabilitation strategies must target the individual in his or her specific context, be comprehensive and based on multi-agency local partnerships,” the parliamentarians say in the adopted text.
