Statement of Indonesia at the Open Debate on THREATS TO INTERNATIONAL PEACE AND SECURITY CAUSED BY TERRORIST ACTS, May 11, 2016

Secondly, deradicalization programmes must be complemented by counter-radicalization, which aims at providing the public with narratives to counter those of the terrorists. Our counter-radicalization programmes involve many important stakeholders, such as educational and religious institutions, youth organizations, media, women, victims of terrorist attacks and even former terrorists, at both the national and provincial levels. Within the context of counterradicalization, we have put in place appropriate measures to prevent the spread of terrorists’ messages through the Internet. We also use the Internet to prevent, detect and deter acts of terrorism. That include creating websites to disseminate messages of peace and respect and the gathering of information that may lead to the prevention of terrorism and prosecution of terrorist suspects.
