The IPU High-Level Advisory Group on Countering Terrorism and Violent Extremism was established during the 137th IPU Assembly in October 2017 to serve as the global parliamentary focal point for counter-terrorism-related parliamentary activities. Its creation led to the establishment of the IPU’s programme on counter-terrorism and prevention of violent extremism (CTPVE).

Serge Stroobants, Director for Europe & MENA region at the Institute for Economics & Peace, will be briefing the annual meeting of the IPU High-Level Advisory Group on Countering Terrorism and Violent Extremism on the use of Positive Peace in Counter Terrorism (CT) and Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism (PCVE).
