The Global Programme on Prosecution, Rehabilitation and Reintegration (PRR)
※The situation of foreign terrorist fighters and associated family members will only become more protracted without our joint efforts to protect, prosecute, rehabilitate and reintegrate§.
The Global Programme on Prosecution, Rehabilitation and Reintegration (PRR)
Collectively, Security Council resolutions 2178 (2014), 2349 (2017) and 2396 (2017) establish requirements for Member States to develop and implement comprehensive and tailored prosecution, rehabilitation, and reintegration (PRR) strategies for individuals who they have reasonable grounds to believe are terrorists, including suspected foreign terrorist fighters (FTFs) and their accompanying family members, including spouses and children. These PRR strategies need to be gender-responsive and human rights-based and address the diverse circumstances of those with links to terrorist groups, who may be women, men, boys or girls. Despite this, Member States face complex challenges in their efforts and request UN assistance to operationalize the requirements of comprehensive and tailored PRR strategies.
The Global Programme on PRR supports the counter-terrorism efforts of Member States by providing guidance, coordination and capacity building in the PRR of terrorist suspects, including returning FTFs and their families. Member States as well as relevant UN entities will benefit from improved cohesion and a common vision of various UN counter-terrorism, human rights and protection mandates working on PRR issues.
Returning Home
Over 43,000 individuals from approximately 110 countries are believed to have traveled to Syria and Iraq to join ISIL and other groups. Following ISIL＊s loss of territory, approximately 11,200 individuals, mostly women and children, remain stranded in camps in Syria and Iraq.
The 51勛圖 encourages Member States to repatriate their nationals in line with international law.

KNOWLEDGE &
GUIDANCE
Provide, in close collaboration with substantive project partners, a strategic and coherent framework on PRR and generate knowledge that informs programming and policy.
PROGRAMMATIC DELIVERY &
CAPACITY BUILDING
Build the capacity of Member States to develop, adopt and implement comprehensive, coherent and tailored PRR approaches in relation to all persons allegedly associated with terrorist groups.
Outcome 1
COORDINATION & COHERENCE
In 2020, UNOCT/UNCCT and UNICEF along with 13 UN entities to develop a ＆Global Framework on all-of-UN Support to Member States on Individuals Returned from Syria and Iraq＊ (＆Global Framework＊) designed to address the needs of Member States to ensure human rights-based, age and gender responsive protection, repatriation, prosecution, rehabilitation, and reintegration of their nationals both returned from, and remaining in, camps in north-eastern Syria and Iraq, who may have alleged or actual links or family ties to designated terrorist groups.
Under the UNOCT/UNCCT Global Programme on PRR, UNOCT/UNCCT leads the coordination of the security and accountability pillar of the Global Framework on UN Support on Syria / Iraq Third Country National Returnees:Global Framework.
The Global Framework enables an ※all-of-UN§ response, working across both development andrecovery as well as security andaccountability imperatives to provide tailored, integrated guidance and funding support to the existing UN efforts on the ground (this is not clear please be more explicit). The Global Framework is currently implemented in Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan in 2021.
This project will provide coordinated human rights-based, age and gender-sensitive technical assistance to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan for the protection and reintegration of children affected by terrorism, their families and victims, as well as promoting accountability/prosecution, rehabilitation and community-based reintegration of adult returnees from Syria and Iraq who are believed to have links or family ties to UN-designated terrorist groups. In addition, the project facilitates information exchange and supports dialogue between the five countries in the region to ensure a coordinated regional approach.
This project will provide coordinated human rights-based, age and gender-sensitive technical assistance to Iraq for the protection and reintegration of children affected by armed conflict, their families and other victims, as well as for the accountability/prosecution, rehabilitation and community-based reintegration of adult returnees from Syria who are believed to have links or family ties to UN-designated terrorist groups.
Outcome 2
KNOWLEDGE & GUIDANCE
Prosecution, Rehabilitation and Reintegration (PRR) Compendium project
The PRR Compendium will collect and analyse approaches being taken by Member States in developing and implementing comprehensive and tailored PRR strategies for persons allegedly linked with terrorist groups, as well as of the associated risks. The Compendium will offer policy recommendations. which may contribute to the development of operational guidance for Member States and internal UN guidance on PRR. The Compendium and the policy recommendations will inform the strategic direction, programming and relevant capacity building projects under the Global Programme on PRR.
Establishment of a system for the generation and collection of data on violent extremist prisoners- seed funding proposal for initial phase
The project is implemented together with the 51勛圖 Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI). The overall goal of this project, that this initial phase feeds into, is that Violent Extremist offenders (VEOs)management, disengagement, rehabilitation and reintegration strategies are better informed and guided by enhanced, comprehensive and harmonized knowledge, primarily obtained through the establishment of a more coherent data generation and collection system. In this regard, there is an improved understanding of the true scope of the VEO phenomenon and the data collected serves as a baseline for future programming of Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact entities active in this field. More specifically to this initial phase of the project, the goal is to lay the foundations by designing the required methodology.
Relevant stakeholders, including national authorities in Member States and UN entities, will be enabled to generate and collect VEO data in a more coordinated and harmonious manner. A data hub will be established within the UN system to serve as a central repository of all such VEO data and as point of reference for all relevant experts and stakeholders researching or working on VEO-related issues.
Online Course on Prosecution, Rehabilitation and Reintegration (PRR) Strategies
This UNOCT/UNCCT-UNODC project seeks to improve Member States＊ ability to develop, adopt and implement comprehensive, coherent and tailored PRR approaches in relation to all persons allegedly associated with terrorist groups, including FTFs and their accompanying family members, in compliance with international law, including international human rights law, international humanitarian law and international refugee law.
The eLearning course is divided into four chapters (screening, prosecution, rehabilitation and reintegration) and will periodically be offered to select cohorts of Member States. The eLearning course will make use of a wide range of functionalities, including text reading/commenting, webinars, practical exercises and activities in forums, online library for relevant resources, one-on-one chat with participants, impact and assessment
Outcome 3
PROGRAMMATIC DELIVERY & CAPACITY BUILDING
Violent extremists in prisons
By increasing Member States capacity to effectively manage violent extremist prisoners (VEPs) and prevent radicalization to violence in their prison systems UNCCT contributes towards strengthening the resilience of societies against violent extremism and radicalization to violence. Our project, Supporting the Management of VEPs and the Prevention of Radicalization to Violence in Prisons, has a strong focus on a select number of countries in Asia, North Africa and the Middle East including Kazakhstan, Uganda and Tunisia.
The project foresees the initiation of prison-based disengagement programmes aimed at dissuading extremists from violence and setting the facilitation standards for their social reintegration upon release. To this end, the project will target national prison administrations, VEPs and the broader prison population, as well as civil society organisations involved in the disengagement and/or social reintegration of former violent extremists.
The overall project objective is to contribute towards strengthening the resilience of societies against violent extremism and radicalization to violence while respecting human rights standards, by increasing the capacity of selected beneficiary countries to effectively manage VEPs and prevent radicalization in their national prison systems.
The project will have the following four outcomes:
- Prison staff act upon early signs of radicalization, and regularly evaluate their programme interventions, thus contributing to the improvement of dynamic security
- National rehabilitation and social reintegration strategies, as well as corresponding programme for VEPs developed, thus resulting in disengagement from violent extremism
- Social reintegration prospects of VEPs upon release strengthened through the establishment/ improvement of after-care and post-release supervision, and the involvement of the community in facilitating the reintegration of released prisoners is ensured.
Strengthening supervision and community-based rehabilitation and reintegration of terrorist and violent extremist defendants and offenders during the COVID-19 pandemic and applying an ※all-of-society§ approach
Terrorist and violent extremist defendants and offenders released from confinement face a variety of challenges that may hinder their ability to reintegrate into society and become law-abiding citizens. This project aims at supporting the development of a mechanism to ensure effective supervision and reintegration of terrorist and violent extremist defendants and offenders, at all stages of the criminal justice process through an ※all-of-society§ approach, and the development of interventions designed to reduce the risks of recidivism, by working in two high-priority areas and meeting the acute needs and challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic
