On 10 November 2016, Mr. Yevgeny Ilyin, First Deputy Head of the National Anti-terrorism Committee Central Office of the Russian Federation, briefed the Counter-Terrorism Committee.

“Over recent years, terrorism has been experiencing a profound and rapid transformation in terms of its organizational principles and ideology,” Mr. Ilyin said, outlining the measures currently being implemented by the Russian Federation in countering terrorist propaganda and beliefs.

These measures include the promotion of interethnic and interreligious dialogue; engagement with youth through education and cultural projects; and coordination between federal and state agencies and local actors. A concrete example of how the Russian Federation engages with youth is through the introduction of counter-narratives to violent extremism and propaganda into the school curriculum, which is done through the Ministry of Education. The First Deputy Head also underscored the importance of regional cooperation between civil society organizations in local communities and Government entities.

The briefing was followed by an interactive discussion, which offered Member States the chance to exchange ideas and provide practical guidance on how to develop these efforts further.
