Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development

Origin - 2016 - Second part-session

In the draft resolution, before paragraph 1, insert the following paragraph:

"The radicalisation of young people is not a new phenomenon: children and young people, building their identity and looking for a sense of purpose, are more likely to be attracted to radical ideas and movements of different types (political, ideological or religious) than people in other age groups. Some of those radicalised turn to violence, with nefarious consequences, as history has shown."
