Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan UAE Minister of Foreign Affairs t is only through our collective efforts and sustained Icommitment that we, as a global community, will be able to address one of the most pressing issues in the context of counterterrorism, namely countering violent extremism. Violent extremism remains a phenomenon that affects all nations, peoples, and cultures. Recognizing the depth and complexity of violent extremism, and recognizing the need for global cooperation on this threat, the Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF) has acted swiftly and made countering violent extremism one of its core focus areas. As a result, the United Arab Emirates will be hosting the first ever International Center of Excellence for Countering Violent Extremism, in Abu Dhabi, which is scheduled to open in October 2012. Events such as this important plenary meeting in Istanbul, serve to remind us of the need for sustained collective efforts and of the need to strengthen global partnerships. These are the sorts of efforts and partnerships that will allow the International Center of Excellence to become a genuine and effective international platform to increase stability and enhance security in the current global landscape. On behalf of the United Arab Emirates, I would like to extend my sincere appreciation for your support, cooperation, and partnership, both in the general context of the GCTF and as we move forward to opening the International Center of Excellence in Abu Dhabi. 2 CoE Newsletter JUNE 2012 JUNE 2012 CoE Newsletter 3 Dear Colleague: Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Newsletter for the International Center of Excellence for Countering Violent Extremism.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “ target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • Planning Resiliency Shaping the Future I Am No Longer Myself
    Planning resiliency Shaping the future I am no longer myself INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN 25 NOVEMBER 2019 The actress Melania Dalla Costa and the photographer Dimitri Dimitracacos joined UNICRI in the development of the campaign for the elimination of violence against women. The campaign is a tribute to the victims and it describes the painful process that leads to the destruction of an identity. An identity that can reborn through the strength that only solidarity and help can generate. The campaign is also launching a strong message to violent people: their abuses are a form of weakness, a denial of our human nature.
