Origin - 2016 - Second part-session

In the draft resolution, paragraph 1, second sentence, replace the word "Islamist" with the word "religious"

Explanatory note

The report should not focus only on Islamic radicalisation as "radicalisation in all forms" constitutes a direct threat to the society. The latest events in Europe and the Middle East should not change the scope of the fight against radicalisation. We should bear in mind that the latest terrorist attacks against civilians in Ankara perpetrated by the terrorist group PKK are also barbarous attacks and should be condemned by all means.
