Endorsement of a non-binding resolution on radicalisation and recruitment of European citizens by terrorist organisations

The European Parliament's civil liberties committee approved on 19 October 2015 a non-binding resolution regarding radicalisation and violent extremism.

Members of the committee called for illegal content that spreads violent extremism via the internet to be deleted promptly, while in line with fundamental rights and freedom of expression. They also recommended ways to discourage recruitment of EU citizens as 'foreign fighters' and called for member states to step up judicial cooperation to this end.
