"Madam President, terrorism is a global threat and only global cooperation can defeat the terrorist agenda and all those that support it. Calling for an alliance between Europe and the Arab States in a fight against terrorism is, therefore, vital. I welcome the recently signed Memorandum.
There are many Arab countries with good strategies for countering radicalisation and extremism and stopping terrorist funding. The UAE, for example established the Hedayah centre in Abu Dhabi. We do not have to reinvent the wheel; we can learn from their experiences. It is vital, however, that the cooperation avoids the mistakes of the past. The global war on terror after 9/11 involved measures that violated fundamental rights and international law. Respect for human rights and the rule of law must not fall victim to combating terrorism; these must be the bedrock of it. Many regimes have used repressive methods and emergency legislation to crush dissent.
Repression re-provokes discontent and radicalisation, setting off a cycle of violence. Europe and the Arab League states must pursue a comprehensive counter-terrorism strategy that tackles the root cause of radicalisation, with particular focus on the economic and social situation of the younger generation in many of these countries. Young people must be inspired by values of mutual respect and inclusive society so that we stop the vicious cycle of violence. We need to work together as we are all facing the same threat."@en1
