In the 18 years from 2000 to 2018, terrorism cost the world economy $855 billion.
Countering Violent Extremism (VE) and Terrorism in all its forms, is a fundamentally different challenge to Prevention.
Prevention will often sit within the host communities who are most affected by the impact of extremist ideologies and actions, whereas Countering Terrorism is seen to be the domain of Governmental agencies and Law Enforcement. SPECTRE advocates a Third Way.
Profile, Predict, Prepare, Protect
SPECTRE has over a decade’s experience in operating in both distinct spaces. From building grassroots community resilience to extremist ideologies, to Sentiment Analysis and digital counter narrative campaigns. Our framework encompasses the social, demographic, political, psychological & emotional, ideological, geo-political and human factors that drive extremism.
In short we help nations to meet their Legal and moral Duties across both Pillars of the United Nations Global Strategy for preventing and countering violent extremism:
- Tackling conditions conducive to terrorism;
- Preventing and combating terrorism.
How We Work
We help build a countries’ capacity to combat terrorism and to strengthen the role of the United Nations system in that regard.
No drawn out feasibility studies; no big fact-finding conferences; no half-measures. Instead, we commit fully to ensuring respect for human rights and the rule of law is embedded into each Nation’s Local Action Plan. Together we deliver Global change that has a measurable impact on everyone’s lives.
