However, the good-willing positions expressed have not been followed by real on-the-groundmeasures to reinforce the civil society contribution topreventviolentextremism.Actually, there is a growing concern that states are interested in restraining the spaceofcivil society. In the name of fighting terrorism, governments have curtailed politicalfreedoms and imposed restrictive measures against human rights defenders and civilsocietyactivistsinmanycountries.Statessystematicallyinvokenationalsecurityandpublicsafetytoshrinkthespaceofindependentcivilsocietyactivities.Inmanycountries,speciallegislativeand regulatorymeasureshavebeenused tocrackdownonNGOsandactivistswhoadvocateforsocialchangeandcriticizegovernmentpolicies.Thesemeasuresmakeitmoredifficultforcivilsocietyactorstopromotehumanrightsandtoleranceasanessentialelementinthepreventionofviolentextremism.Itisessentialtomaintainandprotectcivilsocietyifwewanttoaddresstheconditionsconducivetothespreadofterrorism.

The following document aims to share good practices to prevent all forms of violentextremism in the Euro-mediterranean region, who have been classified both by thedifferent Goals of the OPEV Plan of Action as well as the 3 main regions of the Euro-mediterraneanregion.
