Terrorism and extremism, as plague of the 21st century, pose a threat to all countries worldwide and endanger the peaceful lives of people across the globe. Terrorism is an antisocial and violent act aimed at achieving certain extremist goals. It is characterized by the use of harsh and brutal methods, such as attacks on innocent civilians or the construction of explosive devices. Extremism is a specific type of behavior based on extremist beliefs and ideas that go beyond the bounds of social consensus and norms.
The conference highlighted the need for collective efforts in combating terrorism and extremism in all their forms. All countries of the world must unite to combat these negative and dangerous phenomena and work together to eradicate them.
