Expert Workshop on

Preventing Terrorism: Fighting Incitement and Related Terrorist Activities

(Vienna, 19-20 October 2006)

SUMMARY

The fight against incitement to commit terrorist offences, recruitment for terrorism and other related terrorist activities has gained momentum with the adoption of several measures at various levels to criminalize these behaviors. The Council of Europe Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism criminalizes public provocation to commit a terrorist offence, recruitment and training for terrorism, and several OSCE commitments mention the necessity to eliminate conditions in which terrorists may recruit and gain support. UN Security Council Resolution 1624 calls upon all States to prohibit by law incitement to commit terrorist acts.

In a joint initiative in May 2006, the Federal Republic of Germany and the Russian Federation launched the idea to hold a joint OSCE – Council of Europe (CoE) event to discuss the fight against incitement to terrorism and related activities. They also pledged extra-budgetary contributions to fund the organization of such an event. The OSCE – CoE “Expert Workshop on Preventing Terrorism: Fighting Incitement and Related Terrorist Activities” was held in Vienna on 19-20 October 2006. This was the first major joint event of the two organizations in the field of counter-terrorism.

The workshop was attended by 180 participants representing judicial, law enforcement, security and counter-terrorism authorities from 47 OSCE/CoE States and OSCE Partner for Co-operation States as well as 14 International Organizations.

In the opening session OSCE and CoE officials welcomed the holding of the workshop as an important element of the activities of the international community on preventing and combating terrorism and an excellent example of the will and ability of two major regional organizations to work together on such a topical issue. On behalf of the Belgian Chairmanship-in-Office of the OSCE Ambassador Bertrand de Crombrugghe, Chairman of the OSCE Permanent Council, drew attention to the need to implement the recently adopted UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and recalled OSCE work aimed at preventing hate speech and speech that incites violence. On behalf of the Russian Chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers of the CoE Mr. Anatoly Safonov, Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation on International
Co-operation in Combating Terrorism and Transnational Organized Crime, stressed that we are responsible to future generations for preventing the ideology of hate and violence taking hold in their minds and hearts. OSCE Secretary General Ambassador Marc Perrin de Brichambaut underlined the important co-ordinative and innovative role of the OSCE as a niche player in promoting the regional implementation of UN obligations and specific commitments. Mr. Guy de Vel, Director General of Legal Affairs, speaking on behalf of the CoE Secretary General, drew attention to the CoE Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism of 2005 (hereafter “the CoE Convention”) as an important instrument to fight incitement and related crimes.

The first part of Session I provided an overview of the legal regime regarding prevention of terrorism, which is rather recent as well as some national experiences in this respect.

The Chair of the Committee of Experts on Terrorism (CODEXTER) of the Council of Europe presented the international legal regime for the prevention of terrorism.

The CoE Convention is a good example of how the norms elaborated by regional organizations can influence developments at universal level as shown by the adoption, a few months later, of Resolution 1624 by the UN Security Council.

The CoE Convention is the first instrument to establish at international level as criminal offences certain acts, which can lead to the commission of terrorist offences such as incitement, recruitment and training for terrorism.

The public provocation offence is no doubt the most innovative element in the CoE Convention as it covers not only direct, but also indirect incitement to commit a terrorist offence. This is a sophisticated offence, which requires the intervention of national courts in its interpretation. The delimitation between punishable conduct and the legitimate exercise of freedom of speech will ultimately depend on the interpretation by national courts as well as the European Court of Human Rights, the key element being that the distribution of the message must create a danger that one or more terrorist offences might be committed.

This illustrates the paramount importance of the fact that the application of the offence does not result is undue limitations in the legitimate exercise of fundamental rights. For this very reason, the CoE Convention contains several Human Rights safeguard clauses.

At universal level, UN Security Council resolution 1624 further calls upon member States to address rapidly and urgently incitement to terrorism.

Moreover, the UN Counter-Terrorism Committee’s report to the Security Council singles out the CoE Convention. It is therefore likely that the CoE Convention will have an effect beyond the jurisdiction of States parties and can be instrumental in assisting members of the UN.

Likewise, the EU prevention of radicalization and recruitment strategy will contribute to the efforts of the international community in this area. Its preventive nature focuses on future generations, as this is a key element to succeed by disrupting terrorist infrastructures and networks, which exploit vulnerable people; preventing radicalization and ensuring opportunities for all.

The Council of Europe Convention is a standard setting instrument providing consistent implementation of UN Security Council resolution 1624. In fact, the provisions of the CoE Convention have already found their way into national legislation thus, complying also with the requirements of Security Council resolution 1624.

This was demonstrated by the presentation by the United Kingdom – where public provocation has been translated into the offences of incitement and glorification -, the Russian Federation – where it has been translated as incitement and distribution of materials, which may lead to the commission of acts of terrorism; and Spain – where is has been translated as the offence of apologia which encompasses glorification and justification. It concerns all cases where this is done in the public domain, i.e.: where a message is made available to the public.

Domestic developments in some of these countries have shown the various issues at stake and the delicate balance between fight against crime and legitimate exercise of human rights has proven difficult to establish and at times controversial.

Against this background, and although not the only one, the Internet has quickly become the means of choice to incite directly or indirectly the commission of terrorist offences and therefore merits careful attention.

The second part of Session I focused specifically on the human rights aspects, which are crucial to the credibility of international action against terrorism.

The representative of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) stressed that the CoE Convention contains specific provisions aiming at the protection of human rights and these cannot be dissociated from the incriminations in the convention and provided the relevant case-law of the ECtHR in this respect. Freedom of expression is the key concern here and the ECtHR has in a number of instances defined what can and cannot be done in its name.

Likewise, the ECtHR has set the conditions for a legitimate restriction of freedom of expression, which is not an absolute human right and can be restricted under well-defined conditions and circumstances.

Human Rights are not an obstacle for the effective implementation of the CoE Convention and the public provocation offence in particular.

Rather to the contrary, domestic courts as well as the ECtHR can be instrumental in defining the conditions for its effective implementation, which must necessarily rely on the principles of legality, necessity and proportionality and which are found both in the regional and international human rights instruments.

The ODIHR representative reported on how both the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) contain specific provisions to combat the root causes of incitement to violence, which provide a basis to restrict freedom of expression and its abuse. She further provided some examples of jurisprudence relating to freedom of expression from outside the ECHR system, notably the US Supreme Court Brandenburg test.

There was consensus in this session that the fight against terrorism cannot be a carte blanche for indiscriminate restriction of freedom of speech or even less for the establishment of censorship for the dismantlement of freedom of speech and human rights would foster the objectives of terrorists.

In this connection, both the ECtHR and the ODIHR representative noted that the CoE Convention was human rights compliant. The Special UN Rapporteur on Human Rights and the Fight against terrorism also stated it. However, it remains to be seen how States will implement it and in this connection, it is of the utmost importance to exchange best practices while highlighting the critical role of domestic courts.

The ODIHR representative further stressed that the prevention of terrorism goes beyond criminal law measures. It should aim at creating an environment, which is not favourable to the occurrence of terrorism. Thus, this session provided us with some non-legal approaches to the prevention of terrorism, in particular the outreach cross-cultural programmes aimed at specific communities in Canada and the partnership dialogue process underway in Germany.

Session II focused mainly on the issue of radicalization and recruitment of terrorist operatives and on the challenges ahead and the efforts made by international organizations, national governments and non-profit organizations to thwart this trend, highlighting multilateral and bilateral international co-operation between law enforcement agencies and judicial bodies aiming at tackling terrorist activities covered by UNSCR 1624 and the CoE Convention.

Ideas of central relevance to the topic were echoed throughout the whole session, attesting to their pertinence: more involvement of international organizations; exchange of operational information; harmonization of national legislations in the sphere of counteraction to terrorist propaganda; centralization of efforts, nationally and internationally; timeliness, adaptability and sophistication to attain anticipation against terrorist actions; and importantly, the need to discredit the ideology behind each terrorist group.

Participants of this session agreed on the existence of two types of terrorist threat to the OSCE/CoE region: country-specific groups with political agendas, such as the PKK or ETA; and a constellation of self-starting groups inspired by Al Qaeda. While it was clear that the OSCE nor the CoE identify any terrorist group with any particular religion, there was consensus on the centrality of the threat posed by terror groups exploiting an abusive interpretation of Islam. Thus, the session focused on this type of terrorist phenomenon.

It was stated that in general the target groups for terrorist radicalization and recruitment are, on the one hand, European converts and European-born descendants of immigrants from Muslim countries (second or third generation), established in Western Europe to leverage socio-political conditions seen as more advantageous to the propaganda strategies and recruitment tactics of these terrorist groups. On the other hand, and of great concern, is the predominantly young, male and Muslim prison population of Western European penitentiaries, consisting of those who are prone to radicalization due to feelings of victimization and exclusion; the already radicalized in search of facilitators to fulfill their self-styled vocation; and the already set to commit terrorist acts, in most cases having already served time for terrorist-related offences.

One of the ideas that resonated throughout the session was the need to address the layers that lead to terrorist action by tackling the ideological framework that manufactures disregard to human life. The problem was not identified as religious in nature, but rather belonging to the realm of perversion of context by groups that, presenting themselves as modern to attract Muslims (especially university students), offer an adulterated image of Islam, adding to it, among other fabrications, the supposed sixth pillar of Jihad. An example of good practice in this realm was provided by the representative of the Luqman Foundation, who briefed on his organization’s method of engagement and empowerment of Muslim students, consisting of Quran reading sessions that reveal the contradictions between the disinformation given in ill faith by radical Imams and the proper context of the Text, from which follows the appointment of trustees who subsequently become multipliers that counter radicalization on behalf of the foundation.

The representative of the Government of the Chechen Republic of the Russian Federation cited social conditions as another exacerbating factor of radicalization conducive to terrorism. Among additional examples of good practice to counter said conditions, his government is enacting measures to generate employment, educational programs, and athletic and recreational facilities to keep the youth engaged in positive activities.

The representative of the Commonwealth of Independent States mentioned the need to share information and foster confidence between security services of countries that share the same threat, and explained how his organization manages and shares relevant information.  Again, the dire need to discredit the radical message was termed as essential.

Multi-lateral and bilateral law-enforcement and judicial co-operation were also extensively discussed during this session. The representative from Europol explained the mechanics and methods of the agency’s work, which consists of analyzing and understanding terror group’s Modus Operandi; the methodology/process of radicalization and recruitment and the financing of terrorism; and drafting strategic reports for the EU Member States, of which their dissemination plays a key role in helping countries understand the common aspects of the shared threat, but also the differences in the human profile of terrorist cells and in the way the go about each one’s attacks planning cycle.

The representative of Eurojust explained how this body has adopted a cultural change from reactive action to proactive engagement of all the indicators of any given materialization of the shared terrorist threat, through an integrated approach involving intelligence, police and judicial staff. Through strategic and tactical meetings based on trust and confidence, efforts are made to anticipate solutions to a problem as it emerges, before it materializes into a terrorist act.

Lastly, the representative of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reviewed how his agency started adapting in 1993 and more so after 2001 to the challenge of a constant terrorist threat against US interests abroad and domestically, which has been achieved through end to end integration of information and leads generated at the local law enforcement level, on the one side, and in any given part of the world, on the other. Thus, a new centralized structure of national security intelligence processes and manages information. FBI is present in more than 50 countries liaising with foreign law enforcement agencies and channeling appropriate information to the US.

Session III focused on countering the use of the Internet for incitement to commit terrorist acts and related terrorist activities. There was agreement that the Internet had become one of the most essential tools for contemporary terrorists and that terrorist online presence was becoming increasingly more sophisticated and professionalized. In dealing with the above threat, the importance of the relevant international instruments was recognized, most notably the CoE Convention on Cybercrime and the CoE Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism, UN Security Council resolution 1624 and the recently adopted UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy.

It was acknowledged that due to the transnational nature of the Internet, ever increasing international co-operation was the only viable means to counter this threat. It was further noted that while the Internet had given terrorists unprecedented possibilities it had also provided counter-terrorism practitioners with new opportunities for monitoring and storing data. In this regard, the significance of bearing the pertinent Human Rights and civil liberties considerations in mind when elaborating relevant counter-terrorism measures was reiterated.

Offering an extensive amount of case studies, Professor Weimann, among other issues, illustrated terrorists’ increasing application of “narrowcasting”, i.e. designing websites to appeal to a very specific target group such as children or women. Importantly, he also noted that the majority of terrorist online presences are not used for direct recruitment but rather the preceding ideological recruitment. In this respect, he explained the significance of “virtual communities” through the creation of which terrorists targeted alienated individuals and groups. Such virtual communities allowed members to channel their misery through social bonds created on the Internet, potentially laying the groundwork for subsequent ideological recruitment.

The representative from the French General Secretariat of National Defence pointed towards the threat of cyber attacks, i.e. using the web as a weapon and pointed to the vulnerabilities of vital information networks as well as the dangers of an attack on such networks, in particular when used in combination with more “classical” terrorist methods of attack.

The representative from the French Counter-Terrorism Co-ordination Unit of the National Police pointed out the good practices in his country with regard to striking a balance between repression and civil liberties and also emphasized that Internet specific countermeasures should always be used in addition to “real-world” counter-terrorism measures such as identifying suspects through traditional intelligence.

The representative from the US Department of State’s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section showcased how in the absence of specific incitement statutes other laws can be used to prosecute and convict terrorists. In addition, he also underlined the necessity for States to develop and continuously improve their basic forensic capabilities both in cyberspace and the “real world”.

The importance of winning the “battle of ideas” and mobilizing as well as empowering moderate leaders so as to counter radical ideologies online by spreading positive and pluralist messages was emphasized by the LibForAll Foundation representative and the relevant work of this organization was showcased.

On the basis of the interventions of the key-note speakers and the ensuing discussions, the following main observations can be made:

·                     There is a paradigm shift in the legal regime of counter-terrorism work, with much more attention being dedicated to prevention than has been the case previously. This new trend in anti-terrorist regulation aims to address various preparatory phases of the commission of terrorist acts, including incitement and recruitment to terrorism.

·                     The Council of Europe Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism is a reflection of this trend and is the first international legal instrument to criminalize incitement to terrorism. It was followed by UNSCR 1624, which is an example of how norms elaborated by regional organizations can influence developments at the global level.

·                     Many states have introduced or are planning to introduce legislation criminalizing incitement to terrorism. It is both necessary and possible for such legislation to contain strong human rights provisions and safeguards, so that legitimate exercise of human rights and in particular freedom of expression are not unduly restricted.

·                     Legislative means are not the only way to counter incitement to terrorism. In fact, non-legislative means are also crucial, as they address the factors which can lead to radicalization and violent extremism.

·                     In this regard the role of the community cannot be overstated. Incitement and radicalization are carried out in different community centres, such as mosques, educational institutions, associations etc. Communities have to acknowledge that fact and have to act to challenge both the violent ideology and its bearers.

·                     In order for security and law enforcement activities to be successful, a high level of mutual trust is needed between communities and security/law enforcement bodies. For that to be achieved, a regular, frank and transparent dialogue between such bodies and the communities is necessary.

·                     Prisons are also perceived as places which are conducive to the spread of the terrorist ideology. A distinction should be made between inmates who have not been radicalized yet but who are likely to be influenced by radical ideas in the future, detainees who are already radicalized but who have not turned into terrorists yet, and prisoners who have been jailed for terrorism-related offences. National authorities should develop specific measures tailored for each category of detainees.

·                     It is also vital to achieve better co-ordination and co-operation between law enforcement, security and judicial authorities, in order to be able to turn intelligence into evidence and successfully prosecute terrorist offences.

·                     Criminal misuse of the Internet by terrorists is increasing to such an extent that it has become one of their most important resources as virtual safe haven, propaganda platform and training ground. At the same time nations (governments and civil society) are not doing enough to counter this phenomenon.

·                     The threat of a terrorist cyber-attack, i.e. an attack against IT and communications networks is also growing, especially the possibility to carry it out simultaneously with a conventional attack. This would multiply the effect of the conventional attack.

·                     International co-operation is of paramount importance for the success of any measures to counter incitement, recruitment and the terrorist use of the Internet. As a minimum there should be a process of exchange of information between the relevant stakeholders, but it should be complemented with the necessary co-operation in the legal field, to ensure the proper investigation, prosecution and punishment for terrorist crimes.

It can be stated that the workshop in itself was a positive milestone of good practice, in the sense that it was the first relevant international meeting with a political and an operational dimension to convene such a diverse and comprehensive group of stakeholders to discuss the relatively new issue of incitement/apologie and recruitment. More importantly, from a practical point of view it was very instructive and useful for the participating officials from different ministries to meet and network with experts and interlocutors of concerned international organizations, all of whom deal with the same issue from different experiences and perspectives.

Background

The fight against incitement to commit terrorist offences, recruitment for terrorism and other related terrorist activities has gained momentum with the adoption of several measures at various levels to criminalize these behaviors. UNSC resolution 1624 calls upon all States to prohibit by law incitement to commit terrorist acts; The Council of Europe Convention on Prevention of Terrorism criminalizes public provocation (incitement) to commit a terrorist offence, recruitment and training for terrorism, and several OSCE commitments mention the necessity to eliminate conditions in which terrorists may recruit and gain support.

OSCE participating States have to properly implement this international legal framework and, at the same time, comply with international human rights standards. For instance, States have to criminalize incitement to commit terrorist acts while refraining from infringing upon freedom of expression, which is not an easy task and may raise some practical concerns. There are, however, examples of national legal frameworks and practices matching both prohibition of incitement and freedom of speech requirements. Encountered problems and good practices, including in the field of international co-operation between law enforcement agencies, need to be shared and discussed in search of better solutions.

Counter-terrorism practitioners warn that various places, such as prisons, are conducive to incitement and recruitment for terrorism. Again, good practices that have been developed in some participating States with a view to countering this trend need to be identified and exchanged.

This workshop will allow policy makers and other stakeholders as well as relevant experts to understand better the international legal framework designed to counter incitement to commit terrorist acts and recruitment for terrorism. The Expert Workshop will also offer the participants the opportunity to review and discuss good practices and problems in implementing these international tools and measures at the national level. In addition several key issues related to incitement and recruitment will be addressed: co-operation between law enforcement bodies in countering incitement and related terrorist activities, how to thwart recruitment in places particularly favorable for this activity, and how to combat the use of the Internet for incitement to commit terrorist acts and related offences.

Important Note

In order to facilitate discussion within time constraints, each expert will have up to 15 minutes to present, but all are encouraged to provide more detailed written remarks which can be provided to all participants, to allow questions and comments from the floor. Power Point presentations are welcome. In this regard, please note that active discussion between participants is considered the most beneficial aspect of this workshop. Participants are, therefore, strongly encouraged to come prepared to discuss and share specific national experiences, to identify needs and areas of possible improvement, as well as to utilize panel experts as resources.

Opening

The conference will be opened by a representative of the Belgian OSCE Chairmanship-in-Office and by a representative of the Russian Chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe. The Head of the OSCE Action against Terrorism Unit will provide a brief overview of the administrative arrangements of the workshop.

Session I. Countering incitement to terrorism

This session will allow the participants to better understand the existing international legal framework to counter terrorist incitement. There will be a review and discussion of best practice, with a focus on gaps in the implementation of the international legal framework at the national level. Comprehensive, multi-disciplinary strategies against incitement, non-legislative tools and standards of human rights will also be addressed.

Session II. Countering recruitment and related activities

In order to enhance the participants’ ability to adequately face the challenge of countering recruitment of terrorist operatives and sympathizers, this session aims to review the most common avenues for recruitment, along with existing best practice on the matter. The focus will be placed on prisons, educational institutions and religious locales. The second section of this session will address issues of international co-operation between various law enforcement agencies.

Session III. Countering the use of the Internet for incitement to commit terrorist acts and related terrorist activities

As the use of the Internet for terrorist purposes remains a matter of serious concern, especially with regard to the issues at hand, the Expert Workshop will also devote a session to this problem, as a follow-up to the OSCE Expert Workshop on Combating the Use of the Internet for Terrorist Purposes held in October 2005 by the ATU.

Conclusion

Before formally closing the workshop, the Director General of Legal Affairs of the Council of Europe and the Head of the Action against Terrorism Unit of the OSCE will provide a brief summary of the major issues and outcomes of the workshop. A document with a set of recommendations will be circulated and participants will be invited to comment on it.
