Organized in partnership with the General Delegation for Prison Administration and Reintegration (DGAPR), the Policy Center for the New South and the Rabita Mohammadia of Ulema, this conference will be held in person for a very limited number of participants, in order to guarantee them the conditions of prevention and security, and by videoconference, said a statement by the OMEV, noting that the organization of this conference takes place in particular circumstances marked by the interaction of complex factors that have characterized the phenomenon of terrorism for more than a decade.

The current health crisis of Covid-19 has further complicated the situation and accelerated the pace of transformations surrounding this phenomenon, which will inevitably generate additional repercussions and create distortions within societies by affecting the economic, political and intellectual life as well as the perceptions of public opinion on the concepts of security and peace, according to the same source.

In this context, the holding of this annual international conference will be an opportunity to discuss the changes that the terrorist scene is undergoing in all its dimensions, the document stated, noting that the conference will also serve as a basis for assessing the effectiveness of regional and international coordination in the fight against terrorism.

In addition, the conference will provide an opportunity for joint reflection on how to bring together the views of specialists, field experts and researchers to explore scenarios for collectively addressing the new challenges of terrorism and violent extremism, said the OMEV.
