  1. “It will pay particular attention to the political and economic integration of young people, education, the rule of law, coping strategies and the role and responsibility of the media in fighting terrorism. In conclusion, I wish to reiterate the importance of multilateral action and say that we stand ready to work with the United Nations in this matter, which is urgent for all of us. What is at stake are the values to which we all hold and the future of our young people.”

  2. “Similarly, we should raise awareness among groups owning the social media about their responsibilities with regard to the spread of such content. In this sense, La Francophonie is currently studying the stakes involved in regulation in the digital age. Finally, we believe it is important to emphasize media education. The development of tools to understand the risks associated with the use of new technologies and tools that can develop critical responses to that content should be encouraged. La Francophonie will hold an international conference entitled "The fight against terrorism and the prevention of violent radicalization: towards an integrated francophone approach" on 6, 7 and 8 June in Paris. The objective of this conference is to develop a comprehensive strategy to fight terrorism and prevent violent radicalization in our society.”

  3. “This campaign is having resounding success in the social media. In less than a week more than 2 million young people have shown an interest, reflecting their thirst for universal values. The campaign also aims to encourage young people to develop educational, cultural and artistic projects that illustrate their commitment to the values of freedom, tolerance and solidarity. Also in that connection, La Francophonie is considering the role and responsibility of the media in dealing with the subject of terrorism. In any case, the freedom of the press must be guaranteed and innovation in the media must be promoted so that journalists can provide keys for understanding so that people can understand this phenomenon and deconstruct the narrative of terrorist groups.”

  4. “It is important that public actors, supported by international partners, be more and better able to integrate young people, as well as women, into politics: to create conditions conducive to involving them in the exercise of power, to rejuvenate the political class and bring in more women, and also to promote civic and political engagement as a means of involvement and create spaces for debate and dialogue in the public sphere, universities and in social networks. In that connection, on 10 March the Secretary General of La Francophonie launched a campaign entitled "Free together". It provides a public forum for the voices of the francophone young people in suggesting that they make their voices heard and affirm their commitment to the values of La Francophonie, which are freedom, equality, solidarity, brotherhood, diversity and peace.”

  5. “The conditions that lead some of our youth to adhere to destructive speech are manifold. Besides the unresolved conflicts that fuel hatred, one of the causes of the increase in violent radicalization that we must address is the crisis in the relationship between the State and society. The deficit in governance and political representation increasingly is leading to a breakdown of trust in the State and its representatives, at all levels. It can be shown that there is very little room left for expressing the needs of young people. The young people feel that they are not properly directed nor involved in sociopolitical life, and they accuse the State of not being able to tackle inequality or to provide professional and economic opportunities.”

  6. “The situation is also of particular concern to our organization, whose founding principles - the promotion of democracy, cultural diversity, tolerance and solidarity - have been put to the test. Therefore, on behalf of the Secretary General of la Francophonie, Her Excellency Mme. Michaelle Jean, we welcome the holding of this open debate and would like to express our thanks for the opportunity offered to us to share the vision of our organization. We welcome presidential statement S/PRST/2016/6, just adopted, which demonstrates the strong determination of the international community to counter hate speech. Similarly, we welcome the Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism (A/70/674) launched at the beginning of the year. La Francophonie intends to contribute fully to the implementation of that Plan. The situation is urgent.”

  7. “I wish at the outset to thank you, Sir, for the invitation to participate in this meeting and to commend your initiative to organize this important debate on a topical issue. We also take this opportunity to offer you our condolences following the tragic events in Egypt a few days ago. Terrorism and violent radicalization are among the most salient threats facing la Francophonie. For a number of years, the French-speaking regions of the North and the South have been rudely shaken by acts of terrorism, owing not only to the numerous recent attacks on our States members, but also because terrorist networks are targeting a significant segment of French-speaking youth in their recruitment strategies. That situation is not limited to la Francophonie. Today it is a global concern.”
